Your activities 25
Make the most of your trip abroad – explore your destination city, go on a weekend getaway or just play a game of cards. 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. On your first day of school, you will get your weekly schedule and information about extra activities. You can also preregister for activities on EF Campus Connect approx. 30 days before departure. We recommend that you preregister for all activities of your interest, to ensure that you do not miss out on activities and/ or excursions you would like to join.
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 advertized in advance with posters around the school, as well as on EF Campus Connect and Facebook. Simply sign up in the Activities Office, where you can find more information on all the excursions offered.

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. Drink responsibly – and we recommend traveling home in a group for safety.
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.
Group travel and Supervised Group Travel 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. EF Staff will take attendance at the activities and disciplinary action might be taken for students not attending.
