Students in other countries should choose ELS Indianapolis as their location to study. The school is located in the heart of downtown Indy, only a few steps away from the main attractions that the Hoosier State has to offer. In addition, Indianapolis is a great size if you want to really experience the American way of life. Studying here has been pleasant. The atmosphere is positive, the teachers are very professional, and the academic team at ELS makes the students feel at home.

My favorite extra activity that ELS provides is The Language Exchange Lunch. We meet different Americans and make friends. We learn about different cultures. Going to extra activities outside of school is really good and important. We improve our listening and speaking skills without thinking we are practicing.
