Student comments about "English Max" at Connect English - Valley Campus
Silvia
"No."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

FAQ about Connect English - Valley Campus, San Diego
- I'm from Russia, I want to buy courses in the U.S. for 2 at least 4 months. Do you now have students who come from Russia?
“What are the nationalities of the students you enroll in your programmes?”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 17, 2022 - What is the probability that I will get a visa and be allowed into the country? Are there any statistics?“The school knows that the process with obtaining visas is a bit delayed, if before it was about 2 weeks, now it can take up to a month, it all depends on the Consulate. The school's European company does not work with visa centers or Consulates directly, they prepare documents for students to study, which must be attached to the full list of documents for a visa, but they do not inform students what documents for a visa are needed, or the probability of obtaining it.
The consulate reviews each visa application individually; it considers the student's financial situation (bank statements, account activity, etc.) and a reference from work or study. Since the school is not related to such documents, it is difficult for them to answer your question about the percentage of probability of getting the visa requested, as it is a different case for each person. ”Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 17, 2022 - What is the number of students per class at Connect English?Depending on the chosen course, the maximum number of students at Connect English varies from 25 students (English Goals) to 35 students (TOEFL Max)
