Manchester, New Hampshire's largest city, is known for its historic mill buildings on the Merrimack River and its universities. Its closeness to Boston and the state's lack of sales tax make it attractive to students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Manchester. University English programs in Manchester and language schools in Boston are among the options.
In Manchester 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.
Shared flats and student houses are easier to find in Manchester than in the big coastal cities.
Living costs in Manchester are close to the US average and lower than in New York or California.
The bus network in Manchester links downtown and the campuses, and ride-sharing apps are used for longer trips.
Manchester has cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers, and autumn is famous for its colourful foliage.
You can fly direct to Boston (BOS) and reach Manchester by bus in about 1-1.5 hours.
Because the US uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: Manchester is 8 hours behind Turkey in winter and 7 hours behind in summer. Plan calls home accordingly.
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.
