If
you like the idea of studying American English in a friendly and
uncrowded small city, where it's warm all year round and the beach
is waiting just down the street, then Santa Barbara is clearly your
best choice. |
 |
Once
called California's best kept secret, Santa Barbara
is now known all over the world for its exceptional
climate, stunning scenery, and palm-lined, white-sand
beaches. White stucco buildings with red tile roofs
heighten its Mediterranean charm. Beyond that, Santa
Barbara combines the cultural and recreational offerings
of a major city with the warm, friendly, and relaxed
atmosphere of a small town. |

On
Santa Barbara's famous State Street and just five
blocks from one of the most spectacular beaches
in California, ELC is perfectly situated in the
heart of the picturesque downtown area. The neighborhood
around the school is pleasantly crowded with outdoor
cafes, restaurants, music clubs, historical attractions,
and fabulous shopping. |
|
| Throughout
Santa Barbara there are things to see and do, such
as the Zoological Gardens, the Botanical Garden,
the Old Mission Santa Barbara with its eighteenth-century
chapel and cloister gardens. Step away from downtown
and there's the University of California at Santa
Barbara, the luxurious Hope Ranch, the Channel Islands,
hiking in the Santa Ynez mountains, picnicking and
wine tasting at some of Santa Barbara's many outstanding
wineries, horseback riding, sailing, windsurfing,
whale watching cruises, and much more. |
