"It was great and functional"

Noah Lautaro Waissbluth Gaspar, student from USA

It was very good, because I had a very good teacher, we had good interactive activities with the book, but for me the best thing was when we did extra activities that were like debate, kahoot, ordering words, etc.
good location with good size.

"Friendly and helpful environment"

Mohammed Omar M Alsadhan, student from USA

It was a good experience. I felt I had improved my English with regards to reading writing, vocabulary and grammar.
I didn't mention the speaking part because we didn't focus on it in class. In general, Kaplan is a good school and I highly recommend it.

"An experience full of awesome people and incredible activities."

Sofia Herbas Loureiro, student from Bolivia

The classes and teachers are good, we do different kinds of activities so we never get bored. The location is excellent, it is easy to get there by bus or train and there you have a lot of places to eat, visit and shop.
My homestay is not good, I never talk with the family, that is why I requested to change my homestay.

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 $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.

Learn more about how to get a US student visa »

Flights and airport transfer

The school offers airport pickup services. If you wish to be picked up, just give us your flight details and arrival date. The price of a one-way airport transfer from Boston Logan Airport is $125. You must book your airport transfer in advance when you register.

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 Boston 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.

questions

Questions and answers

Ask a question

"The student will be here on a visa waiver since she is from Italy. Can you make an exception and accept her into the Business English course, even though the course has more than 18 hours of lessons per week?"

We always recommend that students come on a proper visa and it’s up to the student to make that decision. While the majority of our students come on an F-1 student visa, some choose otherwise. Unless otherwise instructed by the authorities, at the present time LSI will accept enrollments of individuals in any course of study should they present themselves at the school with a visa other than an F-1. In this case, the individual assumes all responsibility for the maintenance of their legal immigration status in the United States.

Persons with Tourist Visas may be allowed to study at the school if their reason for being in the US is tourism and their course is incidental to this, subject to the determination of the Port of Entry officer. According to <http://travel.state.gov/> http://travel.state.gov: Enrollment in a short recreational course of study, which is not for credit toward a degree or academic certificate, is permitted on a visitor (B) visa.

The student should be aware that if he or she chooses to travel on a tourist visa or visa waiver but tells immigration that he or she is coming here to study, the immigration officer at the Port of Entry (airport) may ask for a student visa which the student does not have. In this case, the student may not be allowed entry to the United States.

Please use this link for any other questions regarding visas: <http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html> http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html
