"It’s a good deal for learning English and meeting people from all over the world."

Juan Camilo Rodríguez Tapia, student from Colombia

What I like the most is that they have really good teachers who are very interested in your learning process. The location in downtown is great since you can walk around and easily find museums, parks, shopping centers, etc.

Thank you for your feedback! We're extremely happy that you had such a great learning experience with us!

"Amazing"

Gustavo Rangel Torres de Almeida, student from Afghanistan

Everyone is so helpful and fun. In the first day you enter in a class that coincides with your ability. In the first day we got a little party with foods after the class, and got to know the other students and practice English a lot. Jon Roller, the teacher for my class, was always open to questions and thought us so much stuff about the american English language and culture. The clerks of the office could answer all my questions and promptly helped my needs. I don't have nothing to complain about. The location is perfect, and we have access to the neighbour university facilities.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Chicago based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.

"Cuanto sale el fou.ario I20 y como se paga"

michelin sakkal, student from Venezuela
Helen Andrusik, GT Educational Center school representative (Director of International Admissions)

The US government charges a $200 SEVIS fee once you are issued a form I-20. You will need receipt of the payment for your interview at a US embassy.
The school does not charge a fee for the form I-20. However, there is an application fee for all students of $150.
