Massachusetts, home to world-leading universities such as Harvard and MIT, is one of America's academic capitals. Cities such as Boston, Cambridge, Medford and Lowell offer strong options for students aiming for university.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Massachusetts:
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Massachusetts. Language schools in Massachusetts are concentrated in Boston; see our Cambridge, Medford, Lowell and Dartmouth pages for other options.
In Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts than in the big coastal cities.
Living costs in Massachusetts are above the US average, with rent the biggest part of the budget.
The bus network in Massachusetts links downtown and the campuses, and ride-sharing apps are used for longer trips.
Massachusetts has cold, snowy winters and warm, humid summers, and autumn is famous for its colourful foliage.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Boston Logan Airport (BOS) take about 10-11 hours.
Because the US uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: Massachusetts is 8 hours behind Turkey in winter and 7 hours behind in summer. Plan calls home accordingly.

Living costs are high in and around Boston, and other cities in the state are cheaper.
