La Verne, east of Los Angeles, is a quiet college town that is home to the University of La Verne. Its location at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains and its safe character make it a peaceful place for students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in La Verne. The University of La Verne's programs for international students and language schools in Los Angeles are among the options.
In La Verne you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the TOEFL score American universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the I-20 document fee for an F-1 visa. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though some programs have set start dates. Because US visa appointment waiting times can be long, we recommend applying for long programs at least 4-6 months ahead.
Long-term, intensive language study requires an F-1 visa. The application calls for the school's I-20, the SEVIS fee receipt, the DS-160 form, proof of funds and documents showing your ties to Turkey. Visa interviews take place at the embassy in Ankara or the consulate general in Istanbul.
Opportunities to work in America during language study are almost non-existent, and working in breach of visa rules can lead to visa cancellation and refusal of future applications. Prepare a budget that covers your course and living costs from the start.
Accommodation in La Verne is in campus housing or with host families nearby.

You can decide with NGGlobal which school, course and type of accommodation suit you best. We follow the whole process for you, from application and visa interview to arrival.
