How our students rated their experience in Boston
What our students said about Boston
From a German perspective, everything was very expensive. We were glad that thanks to the summer programme some concerts were offered for free. We were always on the road with the bluebikes. Basic food is also very expensive. We hardly went shopping and did not eat out.
Germany
It is a very unusual city. There are a lot of different places to go, but for me it is not the most important thing. I liked people here - they are very friendly, they smile a lot, and they can help you if you ask.
Russia
The camp doesn't give much opportunity to learn about Boston.
France
Surely one of the most thriving cities in the northeast.
Germany
For students, this is the best environment to be in.

Questions and answers about Boston
- I would like to organise a trip/study in Boston for my 10-year-old son.“We can certainly recommend the Junior programmes, complete packages including course, campus/family accommodation, extra activities, excursions, etc. If you indicate the period and duration, we will be happy to check availability for you with one of our partner schools.”from Ardmore Language Schools - Jan 20, 2023I would like to study English in Boston and at the same time work to earn a living.Visa regulations are quite tricky and are constantly changing, so it is best to always contact the embassy or consulate of the country you will be visiting in your home country.
As an international student in the U.S., you may be interested in finding work to supplement your finances. As an F-1 visa holder, like most international students in the U.S., you can work, but there are strict guidelines you must adhere to.
Most commonly, you are only allowed to work on the same campus as the school where you are studying. It does not require approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, you may find that on-campus employment is limited and you may not be paid very much. You may have to obtain permission from the school's International Student Office before accepting on-campus employment, and there is always the possibility that they may not be able to provide you with any work at all.
To work on campus, you must comply with several rules and regulations. You must maintain a valid F-1 status; you cannot displace (take a job from) a U.S. student; you can work up to 20 hours a week (part-time) or full-time (during holidays and vacation periods).Are prices for courses and accommodations the same throughout the year? When do the prices change?“Prices are normally the same throughout the year (Jan-Dec). In the last months of the year (Oct-Dec), all prices for the following year are published. Each school decides separately when the current and new prices apply, this is clearly indicated on each school profile.
What is good to know is that with only a deposit you can confirm the price and your spot in the course, thus avoiding a price change. Please let us know if there are any questions about this.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 07, 2022FAQ about schools in Boston
