My experience with AIFS was great. My program leaders, Antonella and Amanda, were super resourceful and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for better leaders! I think the internship placements should be someone who is actually on the grounds talking to the company/interns, because what might look good on paper might not play out in real life. The accommodation was in a great location of the city.

AIFS advisors are super helpful. The internship was busy work and not educational but the extracurriculars were fun.

AIFS Milan was a wonderful experience, I felt supported by my program leaders and the program provided helpful resources to prepare me for my internship

Great time with my host company and program coordinator, I am happy with the people I was assigned. I appreciate helphousing and Lourdes a lot, they made my experience worthwhile. Only things that I wish were different were the small housing issues we had to deal with during the entire time here, but I appreciate all of the efforts of the staff to fix things as much as possible.

The on-site staff in Milan, Amanda and Antonella, truly make this trip what it is. As someone whose internship and classes were completely remote, it was often hard to be able to get out and see Milan. But, they ad great events planned and helped us to get together and go out and do things in and around Milan. I believe the trip would have been made better if my internship had been in person.

Edu was a wonderful manager!!!! The schedule worked well. It was busy but not too busy. I felt like I got the full experience I paid for!

Aside from Europe just being an amazing place to visit and travel, what made this trip for me was the people. This program has some great people involved. Edu, our travel guide, was the greatest person we could have asked for. Edu was kind, calm, calculated, and just a great all-around person to be around. He made everyone feel safe and was great at communicating. It was obvious an unbelievable amount of planning went into this trip, which made it almost stress-free for the students. It never felt like people didn't know what was going on. Even when things would go wrong Edu and Linda (our professor) would swiftly and calmly get everyone back on track. We had an issue with one of our tours being canceled but by the end of the afternoon, Edu and Linda were able to shift adapt and get us into a completely different museum to continue our learning. It was impressive! Linda was so understanding and friendly while also being able to teach an incredible amount in such a short time. I could not have asked for a better professor. I can't see a world where someone would regret going on this trip. I think about it daily even months after my return. I would strongly advise anyone who is thinking about choosing to study abroad to stop thinking and just go!

AIFS made my study abroad experience fufilling with great classes and more cultural local events than I could choose from. The team was supportive and informative, which made communicating with them a breeze.
