"Great experience!"

Laura Emilia Kourula Luoma, student from Finland

Teaching was excellent! I liked it a lot. The environment in class rooms was relaxed and encouraging for all students. The location of the school was great. My housing was also wonderful and the family so lovely!

I would like to have more activities with the other students in the evenings.
And sometimes there were quite a lot of students in the same class.

"It was ok, I'm a bit disappointed with what was on offer."

Alessandro Zumsteg, student from Switzerland

It was ok, I am a bit disappointed with the accommodation that it was so far away from the school and in an unsafe neighborhood. As well as the breakfast was some toast and orange juice in the fridge, which was a shame. The school also didn't really organize any events or a weekend program.

"A very good experience"

Amanda Flavio de Oliveira, student from Brazil

I just had a week to improve my skills on public speaking, so it was a short period. In spite of this, it was a very good experience. Cory is a very good teacher, and the location and facilities were adequate and nice.
Some aspects that prevent me not to say it was an excellent experience are:
1. In the first day, on Monday, I went to LSI in the morning, so the emails I've received before seems to ask me to do so. There, people told me it was not necessary, as my classes were in the afternoon. They were gentle inviting me to have a grammar class during that period, though. Maybe the information received before should be more clear about this topic.
2. I had the impression that some of my classmates had an English bellow my level. Sometimes, this situation made me feel like I was not in the right class.

I really liked this experience. I improved my language skills a lot. Teachers were really awesome, and their method was brilliant, I was really interested at class every day.

The school location was very good, it was really easy to come here for me.

I have experienced 10 x one2one lessons.

It has been such a great experience. From my first contact, I have had the feeling of competence, professionalism and kindness. I have been good taken care of during the entire period; I received all important information before I started, I had a warm welcoming on my first day and excellent dialogues during my lessons.

Even before my start, I got a greeting from my teacher who was preparing my first day. I was really impressed!

"Interesting"

Elodie Marchand, student from France

My teacher was nice, I also liked the location and the facilities. Same for the activities, we went to the museum so it wasn't only classes. The housing was well because of the sport facilities but it wasn't a place where you can really meet other people unfortunately.
I also liked the fact that there were many different nationalities represented in the school (or at least a few that I'm not used to meet often).

One of the things that I loved about the school it’s how you can get to meet people of different countries and this really opened my mind for how I want to live my life for now on.

"I'm disappointed in Listening, Talking and Writing, but I was excellent in Grammar"

Maria Luoni, student from Argentina

I was agreed with the housing, location of LSI, and Cindy as a Teacher in Grammar.
But in the afternoon the classes didn't be as I was expecting. They were thrown money. They were a social class. I didn't like it.
The Institute has a very good location. Barbara Williams, my host, was amazing, very kind.
I couldn't prepare the TOEFL. I've only had a review about my knowledges.
The best time to stay at LSI must be more than 4 weeks. This time isn`t enough if you are waiting to improve the language.
This thing you must advice.

Emilie IMHOF, student from Switzerland

The building’s location was very good and it was nice because there is lots of thing to see near the building. The teachers was very nice and motivating. He was always smiling and nice. The location was also good because it was no far from the subway so it was easy to get there. The only problem that I had, was that my schoolmates had a lower level in English so I didn’t progress much. This was a bit disappointing for me. At least, I met very nice people at the school.

"This experience was instructive, innovative and indeed interesting."

Niccolo Angelo Zunino, student from Brazil

I really enjoyed this experience.
I have to admit that I was a little reticent, because I did not know much of the language. But with the passing of classes, I began to feel more secure about it.
The teachers are very attentive, they know how to teach in a very fun way and that invites you to learn and to participate in the classes.
Although I found the grammar activities a bit repetitive, I liked the oral exercises and especially the excursion to the museum (met).
In short, I enjoyed the course and if possible I would like to repeat the experience.

"Unpleasant experience"

Abdelmohssen Sheha, student from USA

The school itself is not so bad. It was very well equipped and modern. The professor was great as well. However, the main problem was at the level of orientation. The school accepted my request for a general English course for the afternoon class in level C1. However, when I got there, and after a placement test, they proposed me to join the business class. Although that I did not want business, I accepted according to their advice.The problem was that the class was not a C1 class. It was a mix of level of B1 and B2. So, for me it was not really useful. I was supposed to stay for two weeks, but after the first week, I thought that it is not a good idea to continue, especially that the fees were quite expensive.

And here's a question I would like to ask the school: Why did you accept a student who wanted a C1 General English course knowing that you do not have an appropriate class in the afternoon as he requested?

"I really enjoyed my experience in LSI, because I met new people from so many countries and I really had good teachers there."

Noelia Bueno Bueno, student from Dominican Republic

I liked the teachers; they were natives from USA and this was so good to improve my listening and comprehension. The location was perfect! I had good accessibility for public transportation. The facilities were okay too! I would have liked it more if I could buy my lunch at the school. It could be cheaper and better for the students in the afternoon class, because sometimes I saw that they didn’t have much time to take lunch.

I think the activities were good too. Probably one good idea is if we could do the activities that we liked – for example, every Friday we could watch a movie, or every week we read a book together, or listened the music. In this way, we could improve our language. Another idea for example is to go to a restaurant together because the first time for us is difficult; sometimes we don’t know how we can order, or what is being asked of us. Maybe in class, it would be better if we could practice some real life situations or things we really needed to know like going to the bank, a restaurant, the market, the laundry place, the subway, and others.

I stayed with my aunt, so I don’t have any opinions about accommodation.

"This course is worth visiting!"

Galya Khamitova, student from Kazakhstan

There was nothing I did not like during my studies. I liked everything: the school facilities, the ways and methods of conducting all our classes, the teachers, and the business. I also liked the warm atmosphere that teachers could create in the classroom among students from different countries. Our classes covered pronunciation, grammar, fluency practice and Business English.

Everything is unforgettable for me! Thank you very much!

"Fun"

Ingeborg Granlund, student from Sweden

They had nice teachers and students, and were well-organized. The advanced level was a little bit too "easy" for me. (I was used to Engish books at the university). But if you only want to brush up and start talking in English again, LSI is the perfect choice for you. I was only in NY for a week.

"An interesting short course"

Anais Garcia, student from Mexico

I was only there for a week. Nevertheless I really liked the facilities of the school and the teacher. I'm not sure if it is truly recommendable for a short course since there is progress to be achieved and within a week it's not really possible. However, this is a matter of the student's time, not the school.

"Not intensive, very relaxed atmosphere"

Tatiana , student from Russia

The outcome of the study depends on the teachers who teach you. One of my teachers was excellent. All teachers tried to do their best and had different styles but not all classes were intensive for me.
The location is great. The facilities are very good, the school is well equipped.

All teachers and administrative staff are friendly, helpful and attentive.

"Well-organized school with good teachers, well-situated in Manhattan"

Olle Katz, student from Sweden

I stayed in the advanced level class for three weeks. I also had afternoon lessons three times a week. I had applied for the 55+ group, but that included no one else so the school organized for me to meet with a very nice teacher. We had lunch together and took excursions to places that interested both of us. We also took a trip to Liberty and Ellis Islands with the class. The teachers that I met were skilled, nice and made the lessons interesting, picking up news from today's newspapers that we could discuss and learn words and expressions from. We also had some grammar, we wrote short articles on different subject and did interviews with each other. It was interesting to meet young people from all around the world. We all could use computers and, if we needed, there were also printers attached to them.
Within a short walking distance, it was easy to find good restaurants and shopping areas.

LUCAS ANGEL LIVRONE, student from Argentina

I had some great times during my course at LSI. The building was really modern and comfortable. The teacher (Hanna) was awesome with us and the class, too. Without that teacher the experience wouldn't have been the same. I'm really happy with my course at LSI and would like to go again in the future.

"It has been the best experience I've ever done."

Riccardo Barigelli, student from Italy

My experience in your college has been very educational. This is due not only to the beautiful property that you own and perfect organization of your staff, but also to preparation of your professors, who, even with alternative lessons have been able to teach me something. Also, I always felt up to the task in the classroom, thanks to the kindness of classmates.

"A wonderful week at a fantastic school."

Christina Sernstad, student from Sweden

I had a wonderful time at LSI. The teacher was so nice, had really good lessons, and could really connect with us students in a perfect way, from age 20 to almost 60 year old students.

I stayed only 1 week at the school, and I would have loved to stay some more weekend.

I stayed at a hotel with my sister, daughter, and husband, and didn't join any activities.

A great souvenir for me is to be able to open a bank account with my B1/B2 visa with the help of LSI coordinator. I will never forget it. Alex MM DRC/Africa

Maria Kuzminkskaya, student from Russia

I like school, teachers and lessons in a friendly atmosphere. It's very important that all teachers are native americans but not people who knows english language as a foreign. Variety of courses are also a good option. I recommended LSI for my friend and he will come to US in March.

"It was a crossroad between several culture, that's keep us open minded"

Degeimbre Sang Hoon, student from Belgium

Teacher was so really good, she could help us to hone our abilities, the way to teach was so active and dynamic, my main lapses was grammar skill using right tenses .. I could improve this, it'll be better ...
about my houseguest, Ms Defeo was so nice ..but it was far from school, I was here for works too ( I'm restaurant chef) and sometimes,I fiinished later in the night, and have to wait 2 hours just before comming home! my night was so short...
Maybe a better way to adapt with everyone, I know you have so many students, and i'ts not easy to help everyone at the best...
But it was an unexpected experience, I'll do again if I could...

The teachers are very professionals.
To be honest this has been a good experience,I'm very glad about...I met more friends,I've done more funny things and at the same time very I've been improving my english.

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. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $95 when you register.

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.
