Feedback from our students

Thank you very much Compass Agency for helping me get into the University of Arizona. I had a difficult situation, at first I did not manage to get a visa, then I could not arrive on time for training, it was such that I even lost my passport with a visa! But thanks to Compass, we solved all the problems, and I received a scholarship of $ 12,000 for education))

Hello everyone! If you are looking for professionals in your field, then Compass is definitely for you! Two years ago my son Kirill Voinkov decided to continue his education in the USA. We consulted in several very “promoted” agencies, which found some cosmically expensive schools for him and sent him to take IELTC instead of TOEFL, which is more acceptable for studying in the USA).
We got to Compass by accident, but immediately felt that the employees know their stuff. Kirill was asked in detail about his preferences in studies and they chose an A + level school just for him: with a high quality of teaching the exact sciences and an engineering course!
After receiving the Hi School Diploma, again, Compass helped to decide on the university and helped with the paperwork! So: if you need agents to always be in touch (!!!), advice and assistance on any issues, the search for an educational institution is just for you – only Compass! Thank you very much, success and prosperity of the company!

Thank you Compass for helping us with admission to a German university, with finding accommodation, and also with obtaining a Visa! My dream came true and now I am a student of film and motion design. In addition, I received a 25% discount on tuition! Thanks again!

I am very grateful to Compass for their cooperation and huge contribution to the realization of my goal! We actively worked with the company from the very beginning until my arrival in Toronto. I would like to thank Compass employees for their professionalism, responsibility and quality of services. The path to Canada was long and difficult, but together everything worked out, and I am happy to live and receive a world-class education in this beautiful country. I recommend this company to anyone who wants to get a quality education abroad. The guys are professionals in their field and know all the subtleties!

Thank you Compass for making my dream of studying in Canada come true, good and fast communication, response and support. Special thanks to the manager Angela Boldescu for the correction and quality work. I recommend this agency to anyone who has plans to study and work abroad. Thank you for your work and keep up the good work!

I applied to the Compass agency with an unrealistic goal for me at that time to enter a Canadian college. I had an initial level of English, a clean passport and the fear of filling out all the documents. And despite all this, I now live in a small Canadian town of Welland and study my favorite specialty at Niagara College. My agent Angela did a 110% job of fully instructing and organizing me and my dad. Thanks to her and this organization, we were able to submit all the documents on time, solve all the related problems on our way, and most importantly, get the desired result. I really liked the fact that Angela has always been in touch with us from the moment we turned to her for help and we still continue to communicate. I am very grateful to Compass for helping me make my dream come true.

I have known Angela for 6 years, and since then I have been doing all my visas only with her: two student visas, tourist visas to the USA and Canada until the passport expires. She knows everything about universities and language schools around the world, as well as all the nuances regarding visas, and can give objective advice on any issue. I strongly recommend to all my friends and acquaintances, as well as to those who still doubt the choice of the agency. All employees are very competent and always happy to help.

For any questions with visas, language courses, I turn to this agency and advise everyone! I plan to do the same abroad with the help of Compass! Professionals in their field!

Thanks to the company for their help in entering Poland for a master’s degree! A friendly team that helped in all matters and hopefully will help in the future too 🙂

Helped me to enter HUMBER college in Toronto and I’m already going to fly. They also arranged accommodation, flights, transfers. I will recommend!

Holidays in the city of Santa Monica – Business Magazine

Santa Monica is a city located on the Pacific coast, surrounded on all sides by Los Angeles. Everyone will enjoy spending their holidays here. Local hotels are divided into “fashion”, “romantic” and “family”. Shop signs invite passers-by to make purchases with their radiance, and aromas coming from numerous cafes and restaurants invite you to enjoy dishes from different cuisines of the world in a cozy atmosphere.

Many films were filmed here, one of which is “Baywatch”, hosted the Oscar ceremony, opened branches of the largest companies (Apple and Microsoft), and the famous band Linkin Park got its name from the city park.

Santa Monica Beaches

The wonderful climate, warm sun, light breeze, ocean waves and sandy beaches make Santa Monica an ideal holiday destination. It is sunny here for almost a whole year, but the water is relatively cool for swimming, which, however, does not prevent tourists from just walking and basking in the sun. In the evening, a cold wind blows from the ocean, so you should dress warmly.

Upscale hotels have been erected along the shore, providing direct access to the beaches. Basically they are all four stars.

Santa Monica Activities

Water activities include surfing and windsurfing. There are clubs for professionals and schools for those who wish to learn. Shopping enthusiasts can go shopping and find something special in California for themselves.

Santa Monica has many excursion programs – the best offer for those who do not want to think about where and how to go. For example, a tour of places of cultural and historical heritage. You can choose the type of transportation: on foot, by bicycle, by segway, by helicopter or by water transport.

Santa Monica is home to a variety of establishments for the whole family to enjoy. Among them:

• Santa Monica Pier – an amusement and game park located right on the pier;
• Santa Monica Pier Aquarium – an aquarium with a variety of aquatic life;
• Museum of Flight and Museum of Natural History – a museum for children;
• Santa Monica Beach – a great beach for relaxation and active beach games;
• Mary Hotchkiss and Dorothy Green parks for picnics and book reading;
• SPA centers for relaxation;
• Third Street Promenade – pedestrian shopping, restaurant and entertainment alley.

Where is a must-see?

1. California town named after Saint Monica. In the “old” part of it there is a monument to the patroness.
2. Two museums – Heritage and Arts – recommended to visit, it would be a great folly to miss this opportunity.
3. Majestic old cinema house built in 1911, today it is no longer working, but there are 5 others, two of which were built back in the 30s of the last century. So film lovers will be able to enjoy watching movies here as well.
4. Hillstone Restaurant is a good choice for those who want to try the local cuisine. In Santa Monica, there are a lot of catering places, respectively, and there are a lot of cuisines.

A miniature resort town is always ready and happy to receive guests, tourists from all over the world come here every year. This is a distinct contrast between the old (in tradition) and the modern (in architecture). Neither a child nor an adult will be bored here. Companies of young people, elderly couples, families with children and lovers – everyone will find entertainment to their liking.
