Milwaukee, on the shores of Lake Michigan, is Wisconsin's largest city. With lakeside festivals, a striking art museum and low living costs, it offers a big-city experience close to Chicago but more affordable.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Milwaukee. University English programs in Milwaukee and language schools in Chicago are among the options.
In Milwaukee 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.
Homestays and campus housing are the most common accommodation options in Milwaukee.
Living costs in Milwaukee are below the US average, with rent noticeably lower than in the coastal cities.
Buses serve Milwaukee, and walking and cycling are common around campus.
Milwaukee has very cold, snowy winters and warm, sunny summers.
You can fly direct to Chicago (ORD) and drive about 1.5 hours, or take a connecting flight to Milwaukee (MKE).
Because the US uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: Milwaukee is 9 hours behind Turkey in winter and 8 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.
