Ohio, in the Midwest, offers a wide range of study options with cities such as Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton and many public universities. Low living costs make it attractive for students planning long-term study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Ohio. English programs at Ohio's universities are the most common options; see our Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Athens pages too.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Ohio depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For long programs, the school reviews your proof of funds, such as bank statements, and prepares the I-20 needed for an F-1 visa.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and accommodation is easier to find.
Courses of more than 18 hours a week require an F-1 student visa. Once the school sends you the I-20, you pay the SEVIS fee and book a visa appointment at the US Embassy or a consulate. Short courses of fewer than 18 hours a week can be taken on a tourist (B-2) visa.
Language students in America have very limited work rights: the F-1 visa does not allow off-campus work, and a tourist visa does not allow work at all. Once you move on to university, on-campus jobs and internship options open up.
Shared flats and student houses are easier to find in Ohio than in the big coastal cities.
Living costs in Ohio are below the US average, with rent noticeably lower than in the coastal cities.
The bus network in Ohio links downtown and the campuses, and ride-sharing apps are used for longer trips.
Ohio has very cold, snowy winters and warm, sunny summers.
Cleveland, Columbus or Cincinnati airports are reached from Turkey with connecting flights.
Ohio is in the Eastern time zone, 8 hours behind Turkey in winter and 7 hours behind during US daylight saving time (mid-March to early November).
