Nashville, the capital of Tennessee, is known as 'Music City' and is the world capital of country music. With live music venues, a strong healthcare sector and renowned universities, it offers a fun, dynamic student life.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Nashville. English programs at Nashville's universities are the most common options.
In Nashville 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 Nashville than in the big coastal cities.
Living costs in Nashville are close to the US average and lower than in New York or California.
The bus network in Nashville links downtown and the campuses, and ride-sharing apps are used for longer trips.
Nashville has hot, humid summers and short, mild winters.
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is reached from Turkey with connecting flights.
Because the US uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: Nashville 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.
Nashville is the home of country music, with live music in dozens of venues every day.
Living costs are close to the US average.
No. F-1 students at language schools cannot work off campus, and working on a tourist visa is prohibited.
Because of visa appointment times, we recommend applying at least 4-6 months ahead for long programs, and 1-2 months ahead for short courses on a tourist visa, depending on your visa status.
Courses of more than 18 hours a week need an F-1 student visa; shorter, lighter courses can be taken on a tourist (B-2) visa.
