Keep your eyes open and you may spot the occasional celebrity among the chic cafés, theaters and boutiques of Westwood Village. Westwood is no less exclusive than the glamorous neighboring districts of Beverly Hills and Bel Air; but thanks to the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles, it’s as much a vibrant college town as a pampered celebrity hangout.
I love the way the teachers interact with students. They are such intelligent people and ready to open up for any student. Words cannot describe how much I love my teacher.
Show details » Read more...It was amazing because I knew people coming from different countries and I had the possibility to speak English and practice it. The course was interesting and useful!
Show details » Read more...I didn't like so much my first teacher, but after my first week I talked with the Kaplan manager and she resolved my problem.
I changed the class and I really loved my teacher.
Nice location, good teachers, good relationships established with other students.
Show details » Read more...I did rate Kaplan, but I don't think that I have the right to rate the school because I only took the 2-week program. :)
Show details » Read more...I liked everything. Some teachers are fun and easy going, and some not. I think it depends on teaching style and what I liked, so it's variable from student to another and from teacher to another.
Show details » Read more...It was great! :) Regarding the school I am absolutely satisfied. I met a lot of great people among school staff and students. LA is one of the greatest places I've ever been. BUT: there was not any cleaning service at the apartment (Kelton Avenue). I thought it should be cleaned weekly at least.
Show details » Read more...Having a chance to meet people from ddifferent countries is really wonderful. We join activities and share personal experience with one another. Homestay life helps me to learn more about American life. How convenient the life is!
Show details » Read more...i like everything, i don't have any complain
Show details » Read more...My teacher, Joshua McDonald, was very intelligent and inventive. He always found exciting and contradictory subjects for our discussions. We compared different points of view. I really enjoyed myself while staying in LA. I was a little dissapointed by a person from the school's staff when she was unwilling to buy health insurance for me. She spent a lot of time (about 25 min) on trying to find out if she had to buy it for me or not. I'm sure that instead of calling her managers and talking about that issue she could easily buy it even if she didn't have to do it.
The only thing that is inconvenient in LA is public transportation. Everything is sprawled out over the city.
I don't think that the school wants anybady to come to it again, they don't have good teachers, all that they are intrested in is your money and they don't care about the students. Overall it's really bad.

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.
If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.
Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $100 when you register.
Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
