Rewriting my first skill post

This summer, I need to get into a camp, and I can pick one of three, camp Big Apple, camp Head Start Splash, and camp Ranch West. I think, since I'm going there to study, camp Big Apple is the best compared to camp Head Start Splash and Ranch West. I have several reasons for it, and the things I care about the most are the environment and the professors.
 I think camp Big Apple has the best environment for studying English. First, we live in a dormitory with friends from around the world. You need to focus on the fact that your friends from the dormitory, are from other countries. Since English is the language that has most people speak, you probably would be speaking to each other in English. Because you will have to use English to communicate with your friends, you will speak a lot of English, then improve your English skills! At camp Big Apple, we prepare for important English tests such as SATs, and this means we're in the level that it is possible to prepare for these tests. They all know that, so they would work hard. On the other hand, at Ranch West, they can choose subjects that are for entertainment only, so we can abuse the freedom. Also, those two have more active activities, so the aftereffect will be worse for studying.
 Now, about the professors. They said that they would teach their students with korean professors with at least a masters degree, from American universities. Since korea isn't an english speaking country, for koreans, English would be a second language. But, to go to the American universities, you need to speak as good English as Americans, and have to compete with Americans who had more time to study, because their first language is English. They have more work to do than others, but they accomplished it successfully. This means they are not lazy, and they use their time well. Because they have the habit of being busy and trying best, they would also try their best to their students. but, at camp Ranch West, they are recent graduates, so they have no experience, and there's no mention about degrees, so you don't know the career of your teacher. For camp Head Start Splash, it's the same for them too.
 Although there certainly are some bad sides of camp Big Apple, compared to other camps, but I think those two benefits I mentioned above and other minor benefits, can overcome those bad sides. To conclude, I think camp Big Apple is the best.
