"The atmosphere was nice"

Bander Fahad M Alrashidi, student from USA

Hello,

There are many subjects and I only had a conversation class for 2 weeks, so I can't judge. However, I saw students happy and the teachers were supportive.

Moreover, the location was fantastic in heart of Westwood. Definitely, I will recommend people to go to MLI in future.

Thank you

"Such a dream vacation"

Mohammed Alghamdi

All things at the school were excellent. The teachers, staff, location, and students were excellent. I stayed 8 months which was a fabulous time. I enjoyed going to school and I met a good friends. Los Angeles is the most beautiful city in United States. There were a lot of activities. The weather was mild and the people were friendly. There are a lot of homeless people but they are very quiet and can't hurt you.

"Best school for TOEFL I ever experienced"

Kotaro Mizumoto

I attended a TOEFL class for about 6 months and I really felt that the teacher was great. He was well organized and prepared for the class, and he also knew a lot about the real TOEFL exam. He also helped me out of class. Due to his effort, my TOEFL score rose dramatically. After my TOEFL class, I also attended the GMAT GRE class. It also helped me to improve my score, but I still had some difficulties.

What I want you to change is the office stuff. Not always but sometimes they kept chatting with students when I went to the office to ask some help, so I needed to wait a long time. I'm fine to wait if the staff are helping students, but I don't want to wait until the staff to finish such meaningless chatting because the staff is at the office in order to help students, not to have a chat with students. Sometimes the staff seem to have more priority chatting rather than helping students.

"I feel that I've been improving my English skills little by little."

Misako Mukai

I am a Toefl student and my teachers are excellent. My reading and speaking teacher is especially amazing. They have a lot of knowledge and they teach us efficiently. This school location is good. I have to take 2 buses but there is no problem with it. One thing that I don't like is some students speak their mother language to the teachers or desk workers. I think at least they have to try to speak English, then if they can't explain what to say in English, they ask in their language. Other than that, this is a great school.

"It was a really interesting experience and great experience."

Aysel Ipek, student from France

At first I arrived in a dirty dormitory but USS Housing found a solution quickly and I went to another dormitory in Beverly Glenn.

It was really nice because the dormitory was clean and near to the school (only 5 minutes by bus). The person I shared my room with was very kind. She was a Brazilian girl and I think it was a good idea to mix different cultures.

My teachers were really good, especially John because he was pedagogic, and at the same time really funny! Also, he teaches pronunciation really well.

It was an unforgettable experience and maybe I'll come back.

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.
