Bluedata International Institute is a licensed ESL school located in Times Square, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

Universal Student Housing and HomestayMatch place international students with verified American host families in the New York City metro area. Your host family provides a private furnished room, daily breakfast, and a welcoming home base while you study at Bluedata. Living with an American family is one of the most effective ways to build real English fluency outside the classroom — the conversations you have at the dinner table are just as valuable as the ones you have in class.
Every host family in our network is screened and verified before placement. We match you based on your school location, schedule, dietary needs, and personal preferences. Once your placement is confirmed, you receive a Welcome Packet with everything you need to get settled, including local bus routes to help you navigate the city. Airport transfer is also available as an add-on service when you apply.
Students at Bluedata come from many countries and backgrounds. Whether you are here for a few weeks of intensive study or an extended program, we offer flexible stays starting from four weeks, with easy extensions if your plans change.
