ADVISING

Tampa Language Center is staffed with designated school officials who act as immigration advisors for our international students. We also offer advice to our students that will help them to adjust to life in America or take that next step toward university.  We can also provide contact information to advisors at these schools!

ACCOMMODATIONS AND HOMESTAYS

Our school doesn't have accommodations on campus, so all of our students live offsite. We can provide information on local apartment complexes that have short-term leases available. We are located near the University of South Florida and the surrounding area provides a lot of furnished apartments with the average price around $550/month including utilities.  Click here for more specific information about apartments, hotels, and homestays near TLC!

We also believe that living with an American family can be a great way to start your life in the USA! International students can book a homestay with Student Room Stay to become better oriented to their community and improve their American English skills. SRS also can help you to find an apartment for rent if you'd like too! They specialize in placing international students with carefully screened and fully trained American host families. Room, board and local transportation is $217-$282/weekly (depending on package selected).

HEALTH INSURANCE

Although Tampa Language Center does not require its students to have health insurance while taking classes at our institute, the center does strongly recommend it. Students who are interested should see office staff for a list of suitable providers. Tampa Language Center is not financially responsible in any way if you get sick or need medical treatment during your training at our center. If you choose not to obtain health insurance, you will be required to sign a waiver form indicating your understanding of the consequences of not having insurance.

FIELD TRIPS AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

Each quarter, students can participate in 3 different activities that are organized by the school. Every quarter we volunteer somewhere in the community. Students have the opportunity to practice their English, learn about a volunteer organization in Tampa, and help real people with real needs. We also do one event outside the school where students participate in fun activities and competitions with their classmates. At the end of each quarter, we hold an international brunch where students can share a dish from his/her own country and learn about other students' cultures.

Teachers try to incorporate small trips to local restaurants, museums, libraries, stores, and other locations to give students real experiences where they can practice their English in real settings. In addition, students often make friends with their classmates and experience everything Tampa has to offer after classes or over the weekends. 

The creative field trips and dynamic social activities arranged by the institute are inspired by the enthusiastic faculty and staff who wholeheartedly involve the community in the entire learning experience for their students.
