I was blown away with how much guidance I received before and during my study abroad. I was expected to have everything figured out solo but I truly had someone to ask questions about every step of the way. While I was there, my program had two directors that planned excursions (included an included one to a family-owned winery) and activities like the ballet, theater, and even coffee crawls throughout the history. They had contacts within Prague so I went to the Jewish Quarters in Prague and had a fantastic tour guide (his name was Z and he did all of the tours for my group and he was amazing!). I was nervous based on my friends in other programs providers that if I went through a program, I wouldn't have as much free time, but everything was optional (but you will be silly not to go because they are free) and I was able to travel to 10 other countries. Cannot recommend this program and this city enough and jealous of everyone that gets to go.

I chose to study abroad with AIFS because of their study + intern opportunity: studying in Cannes, France and interning at the Cannes Film Festival. There were also several excursions included in the program, which was extremely cool. One of my favorite trips was when we visited The Verdon Gorge et Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. It was so gorgeous! Throughout the process of applying and actually being abroad, I felt very supported by the AIFS staff. I was thankful for my predeparture advisor who helped me with paperwork and registering for my visa. While in Cannes, I had the most amazing program coordinator who was on campus with us every day. She was incredibly supportive and keeps in touch with my cohort. I still talk to the friends I made during my semester abroad, too. There was a true bond built with helping each other in class, exploring Cannes and travelling the world together. We also got to network with other creatives at the festival, making connections and learning more about the film industry. This was truly the most amazing experience of my life. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in immersing themselves in French culture and learning about how they could play a part in the world of film.

Everyone who helped me was wonderful! The portal to upload and check up on my progress for my study abroad trip was very easy and intuitive. From planning to flying, everything was a breeze and super simple!

Unforgettable Journey with AIFS I chose AIFS Abroad because of their excellent reputation and the wide variety of program options. I studied abroad in London through their program, and it was one of the best decisions l've ever made. The application and pre-departure support were seamless, and the staff made the entire process less stressful and very approachable. During the program, I felt supported every step of the way. The housing was convenient and comfortable, and I really appreciated the planned excursions and cultural activities, which gave me a deeper connection to the city and local culture. The staff in London were always available, friendly, and willing to help with both academic and personal needs. What made the experience even more meaningful was the community I built -I met friends from around the world and formed connections that I know will last. Personally, I gained confidence, independence, and cross-cultural skills that will support me academically and professionally.

I chose AIFS because I liked the amount of guidance they offered while abroad, compared to other companies my university partnered with. I chose the Dublin, Ireland program, and felt supported by staff when debating which internship would be the best fit for me. One of my favorite experiences was the Causey Farm trip, which was planned by AIFS. It was a great way to get close to my roommates (there were eight of us total), and it was a great way to experience Irish music, dance, food, and landscape. I became very close with my roommates after that trip, and am confident that I have made some lifelong friends in them. I'd recommend AIFS to anyone who wants to live or intern abroad, but is intimidated by the idea of doing it alone.

I interned in Galway, Ireland in the summer of 2024. AIFS made my experience great! Before and during my program, they provided me with so much support and many different services. Through my program, I got great work experience and created amazing friendships. I had the best summer ever thanks to AIFS!

Der AIFS Büro war super und sehr nützlich.

I chose AIFS because of its program structure and the support provided to its students. I studied abroad in Barcelona, and the staff were so helpful and resourceful. We were immersed in the culture of Barcelona in this program. I chose the apartment housing option and was pleasantly surprised by how nice and close the apartment was to my school and different attractions. This program helped me meet people that I would have never met otherwise, and I am extremely thankful to AIFS for this study abroad program in Barcelona and its staff. I recommend AIFS to anyone who wants to feel included in their education and not just another student in a sea of many.
