Cece Yu Italy
studied Business EnglishGreat Experience!
My experience at UMC was great! The staff there were very nice and willing to help whenever I needed their help. The teachers there were patient; if you had questions, they were more than happy to explain it to you. UMC is located right next to the subway station which made the commute easier. UMC also had an English only policy which encourages us to speak English as much as we can on campus. I think this really helped me with my speaking skills.
UMC is located in the centre of north Toronto - there's a big supermarket next to the school which was really convenient.

First, the teachers and staff here were very good. They were always friendly towards students. From the very beginning, they did everything so students would feel home at UMC.
Second, I liked all my classmates! All of them came from different parts of the world, and by talking with them I learned more about different cultures and countries.
