Good, but could be better
Improved my soft skills and networking, did two good internships, had a lot of practical classes on my first year. However, after the first year the amount of practical arts drops significally, and the academic part is not advanced enough.
An amazing experience
As a student at Les Roches Marbella, I have had an amazing experience. The facilities and services are top notch, and the professors are highly qualified and passionate about their subject. The campus is beautiful and the location is perfect - right on the Mediterranean Sea. The wide variety of activities and events organized by the school promotes a great social atmosphere. The international student body makes for interesting conversations and cultural exchange. All in all, I highly recommend Les Roches Marbella for anyone looking for an enriching experience abroad.
