"Very interesting experience thanks to which I improved my speaking skills"

Eliska Svihovcova, student fra Tjekkiske Republik

In my opinion, the school is located very well. The teachers are nice and can help with anything. The furniture was great, only the computer or projectors would need to be replaced with new ones. The activities were great.

"One of the best experiences i had live in my entire life, learning more about my self and the world around us."

Matilde Castro Sola, student fra Chile

Hi my name is matilde i studied in els center for 3 sessions, the clases were pretty good, i enjoyed every minute of class. The teachers were so nice, i love them, what i didn’t like, was having no native teacher in one session, because i needed to learn the native pronunciation and sometimes was difficult to understand. for me the location was good if you live in down town, theres a lot of museums, and stores near, What I didn't like so much was that the center was in Minneapolis and not on the St. Paul campus, because I felt that on the campus where I studied there weren't as many people circulating, or university activities, I felt that it could have been easier to make friends If the center was in St Paul, then every day I would take the shalldle bus to go to the other campus, and do activities there. What I really liked was the variety of university clubs that one could participate in, for that reason I was able to make friends, it was incredible, I learned a lot from native people, and I was able to live an American university experience, they showed me a lot of the culture was incredible. I love the St. paul campus, was so beautiful, with purple every where!
I really enjoyed some activities of els, i love to make cookies, s’mores, halloween activities and celebrated birthday every month.

"I had a very good experience along with a great learning."

Pablo Ignacio González Soto, student fra Chile

I had a really good experience. First, the welcome of ELS was very warm and friendly and for me that's a very important thing. Both the classes and the teachers were organised in a good way, which allowed me to improve and learn a lot. Also, it was very easy to get to the University, due to the shuttle buses available for students. Finally, the opportunity to use the facilities of the university made this experience better because I was able to play tennis and have fun with my friends.

"I had a very pleasant time and can only thank my two teachers for the very helpful work."

Christian Guth, student fra Tyskland

My wishes and concerns regarding the subject matter were addressed and I was able to learn what I wanted. My teachers Barb and Michell focused fully on Project Management and showed me many new applications.

The amount of material I learned and the tasks I had to complete after class were appropriate. I would especially like to thank Barb for the free time she has given me to have small talk outside the subject area.

Host family students look forward to eating dinner in the evenings with their host families, celebrating holidays and other traditions with them, and having the opportunity to practice their English with them every day. Host families assist students in finding their way to the Center on the first day, and teach them how to use the bus system, as needed. Students who choose to live with host families are able to learn more about American culture than those who live on their own.

visa

Visa support

Vi kan ikke ansøge om visa på vejne af elever. Men skolen kan give dig alt den dokumentation du skal bruge når du ansøger om dit visa.

Hvis du studerer på fuld tid i USA i mere end 18 timer om ugen, vil du modtage en I-20, som du skal indsende til den amerikanske ambassade sammen med din F-1 studentvisamansøgning. I-20'et har et SEVIS tracking nummer på sig. Studerende, der ønsker at ansøge om et studentvisa skal betale SEVIS gebyret online før de går til den amerikanske ambassade eller konsulat for deres visa interview.

Din I-20 vil blive sendt til din hjemadresse med almindelig post uden omkostninger for dig. Hvis du ønsker at modtage dine papirer som ekspresforsendelse, vil du blive opkrævet $110, når du tilmelder dig.

Bemærk venligst, at De Forenede Staters lov siger, at en I-20 kun kan udstedes til studerende, der agter at forfølge fuldtids engelskstudier. Amerikansk lovgivning tillader ikke de studerende at studere på deltid med en F-1 Student Visa. Hvis du studerer mindre end 18 timer om ugen, skal du søge om et besøgende Visa (B1/B2) på egen hånd.

Stil et spørgsmål

"Is it possible for a student to attend only 3 weeks of a 4-week course?"

Oliver Rizzo, ELS Language Centers school representative (Student Services Coordinator Housing & Airport Pickup A Centers)

Yes. As long as the student fully understands the following:

· He would be entering mid-session and would be 2 weeks behind the other students.

· He would not pass any ELS level and would probably need to repeat the same level for the 3rd week

· He would not be guaranteed his required English level if the class is already full. If this happens, he would be placed in the next closest ELS level available.

· He would not have classes on the Friday of his 2nd week as this is graduation day for the full-session students.

· He would not have classes on the Monday of his 3rd week as this is the start of a new session and all new students will be taking placement tests on this date.

As long as he and his family understand and accept these conditions, the center will still approve his study.
