Studying abroad in Salamanca was one of the best times in my life. Here are a few words I would use to describe Salamanca and my general experience there: peaceful, entertaining, fascinating, beautiful, simpatico, and I-really-want-to-go-back. All in all, it was academically and personally enlightening- a three-month period of interesting learning, making new friends, embracing the Spanish culture, and learning more about myself. The AIFS program itself was great, providing many amazing excursions and friendly, useful help when I had inquiries. The only thing that could use improvement in terms of the AIFS program is inquiry response time before departure and upon return to the US. It was slightly difficult to apply for classes and organize the semester because of this. Not to mention, it has been over two months since my last class, and have not received my transcript back. Yet, in my opinion, the positivity of the experience itself outweighs these downsides. The

Everything the program did for us was great. The tours, the welcome and farewell meal along with the activities was a good way to welcome everyone and get to know our program director and mates. The information provided about the environment we was getting into was helpful to have out expectations set. The way we got merge into the culture, homestays for example, was good to know how the life in Spain is. I think that overall the program did a great job bringing their students to a complete unknown country.

My experience with AIFS was amazing! I took an introduction to painting class in Florence and had the best professor. Every weekend trip that AIFS took us on was 100% worth the 19,000 steps a day😂. I decided to study abroad because I wanted to get out into the world and have an adventure and with AIFS I definitely had one. I wish I had the time to study abroad again with them.

I am so happy I was able to get this opportunity. Understanding the importance of such unique biodiversity while getting to experience it was very meaningful and I will be thinking about this and the friends that I made for a long time!!!

The professor, the food, the enviornment, things to do

My class was incredible! I loved every lesson, and learning about music in Salzburg was like a dream come true. All the activities AIFS chose were so much fun, and I was pleasantly surprised by all of them. If I could, I would do this program again in a heartbeat!

This program was amazing! Janan had so many fun events and really made Spain feel like home. I am so grateful to have had her as a coordinator. This is the perfect program for anyone looking into studying at Spain while also experiencing what Spanish culture is truly about. Valencia was the perfect mix of large city and local community.

This trip was absolutely amazing and I can not say enough good things about it. We had amazing experiences when snorkeling at Kicker Rock as well as many other places that our tour guides took us! We were able to see/swim with sharks, stingrays, giant sea turtles and sea lions!
