The school buildings are usually very clean inside and outside. It is so clear that there is a collective work in each school to keep them this way. Exterior paint is usually colorful. Some schools may be distant from crowded, noisy city centers and some are not. Teachers and service staff are usually generous. Government backed schools are free but private ones can be overpriced in some countries. Every class is fun behind closed doors until you see they are packed with students.
