Yes, New York City is generally safe for international students. While popular misconceptions portray it as dangerous, New York actually has among the lowest crime rates of major US metropolitan cities, and many student-friendly neighbourhoods like Battery Park City, Brooklyn Heights, and the Upper East Side have safety indexes significantly higher than the city average. As with any major city, use common sense — travel in groups at night, stay aware of your surroundings, and stick to well-lit areas — to help ensure a safe stay.

It’s unlikely you’ll be able to work while studying English in New York. International students with an F-1 student visa face strict work limitations during English language studies. You cannot work off-campus, though on-campus employment (up to 20 hours weekly) may be available after your first academic year at some institutions — typically university-affiliated language centres rather than independent ESL schools. B-2 tourist visa holders cannot work at all. Unauthorised employment risks visa cancellation and deportation.
