Orientation, Student Services, Fun and Recreation

There is more involved in living in a new country than just learning the language. There are many other things that can be confusing, too. A special orientation program is held each session to help you prepare for cultural, social, and academic life in America.

Personal Counseling

Agape's staff are available to help you adjust to the many new experiences you will face in America, and counsel or advise you about personal situations -- anything from homesickness to immigration matters, banking, social relationships, cultural adjustment, etc.

University Placement

You may wish to continue your education elsewhere in the U.S. after completing Agape. The academic advisor can help you find a suitable college or university for your further studies. This includes sending for and completing application forms and in helping with any other correspondence.

Fun and Recreation

Picnics, mountain or beach trips, whitewater rafting, etc. are organized for social and recreational purposes.
Special friendship dinners with Americans are held throughout the academic year. Also, American friendship partners are voluntarily assigned to give you a special friend or family to make you feel at home while you are in the U.S.A.

Housing Arrangements

You have two options for living arrangements while at AELI:

Homestay with American Families: This unique opportunity gives you a better chance to practice your English every day, and improve your conversational and listening skills at a faster rate. Agape chooses only caring, friendly families to give you the best possible experience of an American home.
Apartment: Agape's staff is available to help families or individuals who prefer a private apartment find suitable housing near campus.
