Orlando, in central Florida, is home to the world's most famous theme parks, including Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. At the heart of tourism, with sunny weather and a fun atmosphere, it is an attractive place to study, especially for young people.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Orlando. English programs at Orlando's colleges and the language schools in Miami are also worth considering.
In Orlando 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.
Accommodation in Orlando's tourist areas can be pricey, and homestays and student residences are cheaper.
Living costs in Orlando are close to the US average, with rent cheaper than in the coastal cities.
Orlando has LYNX buses and the SunRail commuter train, though the city is car-oriented.
Orlando has hot, humid summers with afternoon storms and mild winters.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is reached from Turkey with connecting flights.
Because the US uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: Orlando is 8 hours behind Turkey in winter and 7 hours behind in summer. Plan calls home accordingly.
