Testimonials from Our Students

Arish Madataly from Madagascar

“I have been in BSQ for a year now. So far, it’s been a wonderful experience. I got to know dozens of new people and still meet new people today. It’s a very nice experience on the social side because we get to make connections with a lot of different types of people. In addition to that, we also have a lot of facilities that are very interesting, such as the gym, the swimming pool, the basketball court, and the pool tables. As well as a shop, a coffee shop, and a whole cafeteria with different varieties of food. All this made the experience even better. It gives us the convenience of not needing to go out to buy groceries, food, or just exercise.”
