Rodrigo, from Brazil, is studying Intensive English at ELS Melbourne in Florida, USA.
I came here to improve my English and to be more prepared to expand my horizons. There are so many opportunities for personal growth from something like this.
The agency I visited in Brazil recommended ELS to me as the best place to come.
I was working. I work at an investment house in Brazil.
I picked Melbourne because my brother was already living here.
I can learn about a lot of cultures from the teachers while I improve my English. I don’t feel any pressure here, though, and I feel like learning is fun. It’s a different way of learning, and everything is communicative with lots of activities.
The cafeteria is my favorite thing on campus at Florida Tech because I like having an all-you-can-eat buffet. The library is really good, too, though. It has many different floors for different types of books, study environments, etc. There’s even some 3D printers and a t-shirt printing machine!
I’ve met Japanese friends, Colombian, Chilean, Brazilian, Turkish, Saudi, etc. We hang out together after school and on weekends. We share stories and learn from each other about our cultures, language and other stuff.
I like to hang out with friends, go shopping, play sports on campus, go to the beach, Starbucks, go to nightclubs. I’m really excited to go to on the ELS trip to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in October!
Go back to Brazil and keep working. But I may want to work study or work abroad later.
Just do it! It’s the best experience you will ever have. It’s good for your job, your mind, your whole life. You won’t regret it!
