A great 4 weeks

I really enjoyed my time at Keats and didn't want to leave. I met lots of interesting people from all over, and the teaching quality was excellent. I loved my teacher and will try to continue online classes with her. Lots of other students who had different teachers also commented how good the quality of the teaching is.

Keats puts on a social activity every night/day, so it is a great way to see new places and meet other students. Part of the reason I chose group classes was to make it easier to meet people, but actually it wasn't necessary because the environment and planned events takes care of that. The events range from going to markets, sightseeing, doing traditional crafts, seeing a show, or going out to play pool - so there's something for everyone.

The life advisor service is also great. Anything you need help with can be sorted. For example, Willow, the life advisor found a place for me to get my nails done and called for me to make an appointment. Or she pre-booked tickets for me to go to a museum to make getting in faster for me.

Kunming is a lovely city. I would definitely return if there was a good opportunity. It is not all ultra modern like some other Chinese cities but that gives it a unique charm and appeal. It's big but not so big that you feel overwhelmed. And there are some particularly cute areas around Green Lake Park. It’s quite easy to find a cute café/bookshop to hang out in near the school. The best part of Kunming is really the fact that it’s in Yunnan, which has a very rich culture, as there are many ethnic minorities. I took a weekend trip to a nearby city called Dali with other students and it was the highlight of my 4 week stay. So if you go to Keats, definitely make use of the beauty of the surrounding areas. After this stay, I feel like I definitely need to explore more of Yunnan.
