      I would like to thank WEST 1 and especially Livia for the incredible work she has done. Super attentive and dedicated! At all times, Livia was available to help me.

      Very professional and practical, WEST 1 always gave me security regarding my visa renewal. 100% quality!

      I do not have enough words to say thank you. I highly recommend and will continue with WEST 1 throughout my journey in Australia.

      THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

      I processed my visa with WEST 1 and I would like to leave the following review of my experience: the counselor that helped me was Indira Jaimes. Always very concerned about everything and willing to provide the best possible support.

      In addition, she was always clear about the steps to follow and very cordial. She is a very organized, committed and responsible person, and for that reason, she transmits a lot of trust.

      Without a doubt, it was a pleasant experience to deal with her throughout the visa application process.

      I would highly recommend her without a doubt!

      To come as a student to Sydney definitely represented a challenge for me, a new country far from home and with a different language.

      However, it has been the best experience I have had, and thanks to WEST 1, not only have I learned a language and I feel confident using it in my day to day life, but I have also met incredible people, places and cultures!

      I love the fact that I've shared my experience with people from parts of the world that I never thought I knew, and I love learning so much from so many cultures through the same language. In addition, the places that I have known are impressive, I am in love with this city and its people.

      I did not have to worry about anything because the agency took care of everything important and that made my experience even better. I appreciate and recommend WEST 1, the counselors not only help us but also care about us.

      WEST 1 has super dedicated and motivated professionals, which makes us feel very comfortable every time we go there in the agency, whether to ask questions, to ask for help or even just to chat when that famous and painful "homesick" kicks in.

      Since I arrived here in Australia, about two years ago, the service has been very professional and personalized. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful and super open people to help with all my needs.

      My first visa was approved in less than 12 hours! Amazing!

      I would especially like to mention the counselor Phil Freitas, who has been supporting me since my first day here in Australia. Highly qualified and experienced taking care of students.

      Among visa renewals, choros and cafes, we became great friends.

      For these and many other reasons, I would highly recommend the WEST 1.

Sydney is just beautiful!!! Everyone seems very kind, from the few Australians that I met several foreigners from different nationalities. I think there is this vibe that everyone feels sympathy from one another due to the "we have all been there" attitude. The Brazilian community is also very broad and warming as well. I have no words to describe how amazing the WEST 1 staff have been to me. Specially Gabi. She is always "around" offering support and ready to help me as soon as I ask for help, that makes you feel very welcomed, relaxed and confident. So, if my stay is as good as my first weeks, it is going to be an amazing experience!!! 2018-09-29 29.09.2018

Japanese, Korean, Swiss and South American citizen as well.</p><p>It was an amazing experience due to the fact that I had to walk a lot so one of my tips is: always wear a comfortable pair of sneakers otherwise you can get some hurts in your feet.</p><p>During my staying days I could see kangaroos what I have never thought to do in my life.</p><p>My host family was so kind. They never left miss food or structure to feel like in my hometown.</p><p>My main tip is if you want to improve your English you should go to the best school because I saw some Brazilians who I have met outside of the school complaining about the school's structure. On the other hand, if you want to go to earn money you can go to any school.</p> 2017-08-29 29.08.2017
