"My experience at LCI"

Ana Aguiar, student from Brazil

I had a very good experience at LCI. I had Grammar classes and Listening and Speaking classes. My classmates were great. I loved the Grammar classes. The teacher is wonderful. The location is perfect. It's near so many facilities at a walk distance.
In general, I could say that it was worth what I paid in terms of cost-benefit.

Thanks so much, Ana. We are glad you found your time at LCI Houston productive and enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and letting others know about our school. Best wishes from LCI!

"I learned a lot, but study time to insufficient for fluency"

Regina Paula Benedetto De Carvalho, student from Brazil

The location of the school is great. The course is good overall, but I did not like the didactic material. There were many audio exercises but the CD was not sold with the books.

The extra classes activities are legal and should be stimulated because it makes possible, besides the practice of English, to know the city and the local culture. The coordination and the teachers are very friendly and helpful.

However, I think that the didactics can be more drawn, with more daily exercises since the proposal was to take an intensive course, in my case of eight weeks.

It was great to meet and socialize with people from other cultures. This was very important for me, for my enrichment as a human being. In my case, I did not live with other students, but with my family, so there is nothing to say about this aspect of school attendance.

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.
