Brooklyn, New York's most populous borough, is one of the city's most popular areas thanks to its art galleries, cafés and creative energy. Just minutes from Manhattan by subway, it offers the New York experience in a friendlier, more affordable setting.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Brooklyn:
Students staying in Brooklyn can choose language schools in Manhattan, a short subway ride away.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require an F-1 visa are planned in sessions.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For programs requiring an F-1 visa, preparing the I-20, paying the SEVIS fee and getting a visa appointment take time, so plan several months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
Your visa type depends on how intensive your course is: an F-1 student visa for programs of more than 18 hours a week, and a tourist visa for shorter, lighter programs. Appointment waiting times can grow at certain times of year, so NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents early.
Students on an F-1 visa at a language school are not allowed to work off campus, and working on a tourist visa is prohibited. You should therefore plan your budget for language study in America without relying on income from work.
Homestays and shared flats in Brooklyn are cheaper than accommodation in Manhattan.
Rent in Brooklyn is lower than in Manhattan, but living costs across New York are high.
Many subway lines link Brooklyn and Manhattan, and walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is a pleasant alternative.
Brooklyn shares New York's four-season climate, with cold winters and hot, humid summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to New York JFK take about 10-11 hours, and trains and the subway connect the airport to Brooklyn.
When it is 20:00 in Turkey, it is 12:00 in Brooklyn in winter and 13:00 in summer.
