Exciting weekly timetables

Activities organized by EF make it simple and fun to learn more about your country of study, meet friends, practice your language skills – and take home some great memories. You will be able to see and book all activities directly via EF Campus Connect.

Excursions

We organize day and weekend trips to the most famous cities and main attractions in the country, available throughout your stay. You’ll find these trips advertised in advance with posters around the school, as well as on EF Campus Connect and Facebook.

Independent travel

If you are 16+ and you'd like to travel by yourself, our Activities Team is always available to offer helpful advice and suggestions. You’ll also find guide books, magazines and folders full of useful information about places to visit.

EF student card

You’ll be given your EF student card on the first day of school. Always keep it with you, as it will be used to identify you within the campus or EF accommodation. You can usually use this card to get discounts around the city in restaurants, shops and attractions – find out more at your school’s Activities Office. Please note that your student ID can also be found within EF Campus Connect.

18+ Activities

The legal drinking age in many countries is 18 years old, although the exact age depends on the specific country you’re staying in.

EF will host parties off-site. For some of these events, you must be the minimum drinking age or older to attend. You’ll need to show a valid ID, such as a passport or national identity card. Drink responsibly – and we recommend traveling home in a group for safety.

Items for sale

You’ll find plug adapters, postcards, EF souvenirs, SIM cards for mobile phones and other useful items for sale in your school’s Activities Office or will get guidance to the nearest place to buy what you need.

Sports equipment

If you need sports equipment, check with the EF Activities Office to see if you can borrow things like footballs, tennis rackets or ping-pong paddles and balls.

Supervised courses

If you are on a group or supervised course you will have a full activity schedule during you course. This will include all the most popular things to do in your destination and maximise the fun you will have. There will be activities included in your course fee as well as activities that you can pay a small fee for. If you don't want to take part in the paid activity there will always be a free option.
