New York is one of the world's capitals of finance, media, fashion and the arts. With Manhattan's skyscrapers, Broadway theatres and people from every corner of the globe, it offers a unique experience for those who want to learn English in the middle of real life.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in New York:
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.
Accommodation in Manhattan is very expensive; homestays and residences in Brooklyn, Queens or New Jersey make a big difference to the budget.
New York is one of the most expensive cities in America, with rent the largest part of the budget. Free museum days, parks and student discounts help keep daily spending under control.
New York's subway runs 24/7 and reaches every part of the city, with buses and the Staten Island Ferry completing the network. A monthly unlimited pass is the most economical option for students.
New York has four distinct seasons: winters are cold and snowy, summers hot and humid. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to explore the city.
Direct flights from Istanbul to New York (JFK and Newark airports) take about 10-11 hours. Trains, the subway and shuttles connect the airports to Manhattan.
When it is 20:00 in Turkey, it is 12:00 in New York in winter and 13:00 in summer.

If your school is in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens or Upper Manhattan, all easily reached by subway, are safe and more affordable options.
No. Schools run beginner courses, and a placement test on your first day puts you in the right class.
