School location

Rosemead College is located in Los Angeles County, in the city of Rosemead, California. We also have a 2nd campus located in Torrance, California. Rosemead is a very diverse city containing both historical and contemporary sights. We are a few miles away from Old Town Pasadena, Mission San Gabriel, and the Rose Bowl home of the Rose Parade. While you're here studying English you can also experience American culture first hand! The great thing about Los Angeles County is that everything is within reasonable travel distance! Los Angeles offers rentable bikes/scooters, rideshare services (Uber, Lyft, and more) and public transport including buses and metro trains. Our Torrance campus is directly across the street from the Del Amo Fashion which is the largest shopping center in the western United States. Our school is within walking distance of many great stores, cafes, food locations, and awesome places to explore!

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged $100 when you register.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.
