Minnesota, the 'Land of 10,000 Lakes', stands out for the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and its strong universities. With a high quality of life and safe cities, it offers students a peaceful setting.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Minnesota. English programs at Minnesota's universities are the most common options; see our St. Paul page too.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require an F-1 visa are planned in sessions.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For programs requiring an F-1 visa, preparing the I-20, paying the SEVIS fee and getting a visa appointment take time, so plan several months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
Your visa type depends on how intensive your course is: an F-1 student visa for programs of more than 18 hours a week, and a tourist visa for shorter, lighter programs. Appointment waiting times can grow at certain times of year, so NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents early.
Students on an F-1 visa at a language school are not allowed to work off campus, and working on a tourist visa is prohibited. You should therefore plan your budget for language study in America without relying on income from work.

Living costs in Minnesota are close to the US average and lower than in New York or California.
Buses serve Minnesota, and walking and cycling are common around campus.
