"Thank you for taking this training and really benefiting from it."

SAFA DOĞAN, student from Turkey

Let me start with the school staff;
everyone is very interested and they get along well as a team. I think that the afternoon trip lessons should be made more efficient and more programmed and more open to dialogue.

That is, better programmes and more activities that force people to talk.

I can't say that this is a deficiency that I see, but it can be improved. I observed that you are more manageable.

"This school is amazing."

Leonardo Ricco, student from Italy

I liked very much the location because it was near to the Grand Central Station. The facilities were very clean and comfortable.
The teachers were funny and very good, they helped you if you didn't understand something, by explaining it. In the end, the classes were very modern and comfortable and there was a good understanding among the students.

"Not too useful for a too low level but formative"

Federico Sacchi, student from Italy

the first week was quite useless for a class level too low for my needs but the teacher was great and from him i've learned a lot of greate think, instead with the class change has been immediately better I think that there were too many guys who speak the same language and for that reason the communication in class was the conversation was poor

"It was the best English class I've ever taken."

Hayato Kodaka, student from USA

the teacher was very good. He had a lot of experience and his teaching style was excellent. The atmosphere of the class was also favorable, and even my sixteen year old but I was able to fit in. I was able to learn more about each country as there were many people of all ages from many countries.

"Not worth the investment"

M. Kerrigan

I took private classes for a month and a half. Classes were mainly improvised. There was no structure (it was like pretty much hiring an English teacher for $20 an hour. I found no value on choosing Rennert.
I have had better experiences in other language institutions, but Rennert experience was just sadly poor (I am really sorry to say it, I did have a good expectation at the beginning).

"It was a very exciting experience."

Besjana Sabani

Classes: They was very nice and the same Level like me.

Teachers: Very professional and helpful.

Location: Beautiful but cold in the summer.

Activities: It was good organized but I spent more time with my friends from Staten Island.

Housing: I lived in the Apartment near from the School. It was very clean and enough space for me.

I can't remember something, that was negative or I didn't like.

"Amazing experience meeting new people and studying!"

Kana Ozawa

The school was in great location. I took the intensive 30 class. The group lesson was amazing. It was defiantly challenging but I was able have great discussions with students who have different backgrounds and I was able to improve my skill. The class for cussed on speaking but I also had time to focus on other skills. For an afternoon lesson, they were changed my lesson so that it matches my level. In a private lesson, I was able to focus on the things that I needed to improve on. I wanted more time to interact with students from different class since everyone is from different parts of the world and having different life experiences.

"Intense"

Santiago Masetti

My experience at Rennert was limited only to the lessons, that's because I was also visiting my aunt and my cousins so I spent my whole day, except for the class time, with them. I can judge so only my teacher and the type of lessons. My teacher, Valerie, was very kind and I think that she also has helped me a lot to improve my English. the type of lesson was unique, cause we did frontal lessons in which we learnt not only the grammar part of this language but also the lexical part. I think that during this time I could improve a lot my English and I counsel this school for everyone who wants to improve quickly their spoken and written English with a lot of different and fun tools.

"I had a good time in NY."

Mai sasaki

This school was very nice atmosphere because teachers were very kind and helpful, students were enthusiastic, so I could learned English hard. And also they had a lot of workshops and activities. My favorite one was a conversation workshop, I could make many friends and I enjoyed talking with students who came from other countries.

It was great time in my life! Thank you,Rennert!

"I was wonderful experience"

Jessica Ruth Caro Yauri, student from Peru

I really enjoyed the classes. Valerie, my teacher, was amazing. She gave us different kind of tools in order to improve our English such as new vocabulary, videos about current issues to talk about them, grammar. But the thing that I most delighted in was Speaking. Speaking English with people of different parts of the world, was not only useful but rewarding. I could meet good friends.
Vanderbilt residence’s staff was very kind and helpful.

I only want to suggest that maybe you can include the option of “Deluxe Single Room” in the program, because it’s more confortable

I would like to have that option maybe for the next year :)

Thank you for all your support!

"All in all my experience could be better."

Martina Maria Caragnano, student from Italy

I studied at Rennert for a whole month, attending the IELTS preparation course and the English for academic purposes class. My experience with the first teacher was not positive, because I expected, at least, a native speaker with whom to prepare my certification, but he was Italian. I am very disappointed because I came to the USA to practice with mother tongue people, not with con-nationals. Moreover the IELTS teacher was mostly impatient, sometimes impolite in discussing my mistakes in class, and never supportive.
In contrast, it was nice to work with Paul, the teacher of English for academic purposes. I am sure that, with his help, I have improved a lot. Additionally I am thankful to have discussed my strengths and weaknesses about my English, so that I can better focus on them.
The housing was barely acceptable, because I had many problems with kitchen, fridge and stoves in the last week of my stay. They were completely unavailable due to an unexpected renovation. I had to find other solutions, because I was not told in a sufficient advance of what was going to happen. Next time I will opt for an apartment...
All in all my experience could be better.

visa

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. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $85 when you register.

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.
