Hollywood, a district of Los Angeles, is the centre of world cinema. With the Walk of Fame, the iconic Hollywood sign and film studios, it offers an exciting place to study for anyone interested in film and entertainment.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Hollywood:
Students staying in Hollywood can reach other Los Angeles language schools by Metro.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Hollywood depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, the school reviews your proof of funds, such as bank statements, and prepares the I-20 needed for an F-1 visa.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and accommodation is easier to find.
Courses of more than 18 hours a week require an F-1 student visa. Once the school sends you the I-20, you pay the SEVIS fee and book a visa appointment at the US Embassy or a consulate. Short courses of fewer than 18 hours a week can be taken on a tourist (B-2) visa.
Language students in America have very limited work rights: the F-1 visa does not allow off-campus work, and a tourist visa does not allow work at all. Once you move on to university, on-campus jobs and internship options open up.
Hollywood has a wide range of accommodation, and staying near your school and a Metro station makes daily life easier.
Living costs in Hollywood are around the Los Angeles average, with higher prices in tourist areas.
Hollywood is linked by the Metro B Line to downtown Los Angeles and Universal Studios.
The area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters with some rain.
Direct flights from Turkey to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) take about 13-14 hours; Hollywood is about 30-45 minutes from the airport by road.
Hollywood is in the Pacific time zone, 11 hours behind Turkey in winter and 10 hours behind during US daylight saving time (mid-March to early November).
