Life in New York beyond the classroom

New York rewards curiosity. Museums, galleries, five boroughs, live music and food from every country on earth — there is genuinely no such thing as a dull afternoon here.

On the move builds a weekend excursion programme: Brooklyn Bridge walk, a day at the MoMA, the Highline, Coney Island and a Hudson Valley trip. You'll cover the city and keep your English in constant use.

Frequently asked questions

Belgian and EU passport holders require an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) to enter the USA — not a student visa for stays under 90 days. On the move advises on the process.

A minimum B1 level is recommended for New York programmes — the city environment is fast-paced and a base level makes the experience much more rewarding.

Student residences in Manhattan or Brooklyn, close to partner schools. Host families are available in some neighbourhoods.
