Student Services

The staff of the Institute is at the complete disposal of its students. We are frequently called upon for assistance in matters of housing, health, immigration, travel, sightseeing and university study once English is mastered. Whatever your concern, we encourage you to address it to us. If we cannot help you directly, we will do our best to refer you to a source which can.

Student ID

We offer our students an identification card which entitles them to student discounts in many area shops, restaurants, theaters, bookstores, and gyms.

Multi-Media Lab

A computer lab, with free access to Internet, is available to all of our students. Students can practice their English with the support of videos, CD's, and audiocassettes coordinated with textbooks and an assortment of pronunciation and listening comprehension cassettes may be borrowed from our tape lending library.

Language Partners

Students may enroll in our language partner program to have a full immersion into the American culture. In the Language Partner program, American speakers help international students improve their conversational English, obtaining, in exchange, the opportunity to converse in the foreign student's native language.

For visiting students, housing with American families is available, but limited. Please notify us early of your desire to stay with an American family. The Institute also offers assistance in placing students in apartments, guest houses and hotels. Please contact us directly for details.

It is a pleasure for me to recommend The Boston Language Institute. I have worked with the Institute and its students of English as a Second Language for over twelve years. Without exception, students rave about this wonderful school.
