Accommodation is in single rooms without meals, the bathroom is shared with other international students and you can make use of the gym, swimming pool, Internet café and restaurant on the first floor. Please note: due to a shortage of availability, think of booking in advance!

There is always plenty to do in New York and every moment of your experience will enrich your knowledge of English. Our partner school’s activities coordinator organises several excursions per week, for example, a visit to television studios, an evening at the jazz clubs of Harlem, a baseball match, discovery of the city's boroughs, lunch or dinner in a restaurant and museum tours.

Testimonial

Stefan Wiss I have been studying at LSI for two weeks. After the placement test, on the first day, I was placed in a group corresponding to my level. The lessons are varied and interesting. Not only do we work on our grammar skills, but we also discuss current events from the daily papers. Today, we visited the « Museum of the Moving Image », which gave a relaxed atmosphere to the lesson. Besides, we are going to write a summary of our impressions about this museum next week.
