It is located in Rice Village, avery nice zone. The study areas are comfortable and one canfind the perfect place to study depending on preferences,from a very quiet room to a little chaotic cafeteria. All thecenter employees provide help as needed, at any time, and itis nice to be around people that have smiles on their faces allthe time.
