"It was a great experience that taught me lots of things besides English"

Hasan Shosho, student from Afghanistan

I loved that each class had maximum 8 students so that gave me the opportunity to share my opinions whenever i wanted . The teachers were so open so l felt so comfortable talking to them . The foosball was an awesome way to have fun and make friends as well . And l liked the graduation party it was an excellent way to say goodbye and make students proud of themselves . The coffee shop next to the entrance came in handy because l didn’t use to have time to have breakfast in home . The activities gave me the chance to enjoy my time while improving my English skills.

"I love San Diego and I love my English classes"

Rongzhu Su

I really like the school campus, it is big, friendly, and has a lot of room for students to play and chat. My favorite part is the big lunch table, all the teachers and students sit there and eat lunch together. My teachers are great too! I love Alicia, Shaira's classes, they are funny, but I can learn a lot. The school admin people are super friendly, they always want to help me and they care about my feelings about the school. There are a lot of activities for us to go to, like the Zoo, and some museums, very nice.
I wish I can stay a little longer to improve my English, but I think my speaking improved a lot already. Thank you!

visa

Visa support

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 $75 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.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to San Diego based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
