LIFESTYLE & BALANCE

How do you handle tech balance?

We're not about restrictions - we're about finding your perfect settings. Morning wellness, creative sessions, and analog activities balance naturally with digital time. We also coach you how to use either a digital or old-school planner to improve your daily flow and keep track of your appoitments.

What are Analog Fridays?

Think next-level board games, role-playing campaigns, murder mysteries, escape rooms, and tech-free adventures.

What about the social scene?

If you're 18+, you can enjoy Spain's casual drinking culture (think wine with tapas, not wild parties). We don’t want any drunkenness, so keep it cool. No alcohol in housing though - we keep that space chill for everyone.

PRACTICAL STUFF

How do I stay in touch with home?

WhatsApp is your friend! Plus, you'll have fast WiFi for gaming with friends back home or updating your content. Just remember the time difference!

Health & Safety?

Can my family visit?

We prefer family tours are before or after the program - if you wait til after, you can show them all your favorite spots.

NEXT LEVEL

Want to stay longer?

Many students level up for multiple seasons. We don’t provide student visas, but there are 3 months between Fall and Spring season dates, so you stay within your allowed time in the EU. AKA, you get 90 days here, have to leave the EU for 90 and can come back for another 90.
