    "Young people today are already well traveled, and are more picky when

choosing where they want to study abroad. Some look for 'exotic territory'

and others want a rich student life where they see a chance to integrate with

the locals", says Eva Kockum, President of EF International Language Centers.

"EF is proud to announce four new language centers in our 2011 brochure;

Bristol and Singapore are already open, and our schools in Melbourne and Rome

will open soon."


    The EF center in Bristol is located in one of the city's most famous

historic buildings, the Custom House built in 1837. While the listed building

has been lovingly renovated and kept its historic features, the interior is

modern with designer furniture and the latest language learning technology.

Some students like the high ceilings of the school building or the modern

language labs, others talk about the city; "You walk around Bristol and see

all the cool British people and the street art by Banksy, and it just gives

you a kick", says Carl Mörner, a 19 year old student from Sweden. He and many

others enjoy the bustle of one of Britain's premier student cities, with an

exciting student life to match.


    In Singapore, the first EF students were amazed by the city's cultural

diversity and the blend of old and new. The EF International Language Center

is situated near Boat Quay right in the heart this metropolis. It features

spacious air-conditioned classrooms, student lounges, and a roof top terrace

with a view of the skyline. "We clearly see a trend where international

students wish to study languages in more exotic and far away destinations",

says Eva Kockum.


    EF also plans to open new language centers in Rome and Melbourne in 2011.

The full range of language centers and programs is presented in the brochure,

which can be ordered for free at http://www.ef.com.
