USA, Welcome to the culture of consumption
American culture is shaped by consumption, innovation, and diversity.
The U.S. influences the world through its music, cinema, fashion, food, and lifestyle industries. With cosmopolitan cities for every taste, New York stands out as the country’s multicultural hub — a mix of people, languages, and cultures in a city that never sleeps. Studying in the U.S. means immersing yourself in the world’s biggest cultural and economic power.

Courses and Programs
English courses in the U.S. are available in various cities. Schools offer intensive, academic, business, or conversation-based programs that allow students to experience the language in real-life contexts.
Visa
To study in the U.S., you must obtain an F-1 student visa, which requires an acceptance letter from the school, the I-20 form, and proof of funds. The process is done through the U.S. embassy or consulate.
Work
With an F-1 visa, students can only work on-campus, for up to 20 hours per week during classes. After completing a degree, students may work in their field for 1 to 3 years through OPT programs.

Testimonial
Andrea Buhler
I decided to take an English course abroad to improve my skills. After weeks of research, I chose WTS, where I felt safest and had the best service. I went to Los Angeles! It was an unforgettable experience — not only did I learn about American life and culture, but I also met people from many countries and learned about their customs.
I highly recommend this type of experience! I’ll be traveling again this year — once again with WTS.
