The ELI believes that students learn English faster when they are actively using the language. A special activities coordinator organizes events such as picnics, parties, skiing, skating, sightseeing tours, movies, and conversation hours. ELI students are part of the university community.
Students can use all recreational facilities and attend cultural events.
Many students take advantage of the services offered by the Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors , a local organization that organizes activities for international visitors. PCIV can arrange a three-day homestay with a local family and an airport arrival meeting. Click here for more information about homestay or airport meeting.
