"One of the best experiences in my entire life"

MiNAMI INAGAWA, student from South Korea

Teachers and people there are extremely friendly and the film class was so interesting. I could learn not only English itself but also a lot of new stuff about film making. The location was perfect, easy to get to anywhere, especially there’s an in n out nearby :)
I do loved my host family. They were always so nice and willing to help me with enjoying my stay there. Mildred’s food was always so good.

"Price-performance ratio of my residence was really low (e.g. Wifi didn't work for 6 weeks), however my classes were really enjoyable even tho it was too easy for my level"

Jonas Iselin, student from Switzerland

positive:
-comfortable atmosphere between teachers and students and between students
-enjoyable lessons, amazing teacher


negative:
-McCadden Residence:
-Wifi was non existing for my entire stay (6 weeks), even tho it was promised

-In the first room we were given, the fridge and the shower didn't work and you couldn't turn the heater off

-sound insulation was really terrible, you could literally hear anything in the building

-school was like a island in the middle of chaos, homeless people are very common, thus you have to pass a lot of tents to get to school

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 $125 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.
