A bit more theory would be good, and in general, more feedback is welcome

ESADE has you test into a class first, however, all classes may not be available. So, you may be in a class that is either too easy or too hard for you. In addition, if they put you in a smaller class, they will take away some of your hours and not offer any other options (refund, etc). This is a real "rip-off". Many of us felt as though we had been "conned" and would not recommened ESADE language school to anyone.

Some instructors are very good, however, some make you feel very stupid if you don't get something right (difficult if you have been placed in a class that is too hard for you). I also, as mentioned before, have problems with ESADE taking away hours that we paid for because the class was small. I, as well as many alumni, would not recommend ESADE for these reasons.

Small-group design was great, yet the classes lacked theoretic ground, profoundness. Treating cases was the most common activity.

More profound theoretic base, a bit more open-mindedness with regard to the rest of the academic world, because ESADE is a little too proud of its professors, and its merits in general. But the facilities are great.
