I can’t recommend AIFS enough. From the beginning they were willing to work with me when I needed to change my session and they helped me when I had a flight delay en route to my new city. The staff in my study abroad location was excited, knowledable, and so very welcoming and kind. The value is the best part. Compare AIFS to any program and you’ll see that you get way more for the price with AIFS. My program (Prague) included a transportation pass and meal card that helped cover some of those living expenses. Also, additional weekend trips were very affordable to add on. For example, a weekend trip to Berlin included the transportation there, a four star hotel stay, all kinds of included activities, and our program leader came with us for the best recommendations. She also knew a lot of history related to Berlin, so it goes to show that the on site staff is helpful about ALL parts of your program. Seriously, whenever we needed anything the staff was always willing to help us. There are SO many free or discounted events you can participate in to enjoy the culture. I really had an amazing experience. I met the best people abroad, and had the most amazing roommate because they honestly take so much care into matching you with someone you’ll be compatible with based on your housing survey. I could not have asked for anything more. Our student housing was different than America, as expected, but was clean and quiet and perfect for what we needed. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. The classes are well organized, the housing is good, the fun trips and programs are a good value, and you’re going to learn a lot. One last thing to consider if you are deciding between your own University program vs. AIFS is that with AIFS you literally make friends from all around the globe. It’s not just other kids from your school that you stay in a bubble with. You get out of your comfort zone and meet people on your program from all over America and from other countries too. I now have close friends in seven states around the country! I loved having that fresh mix of people rather than going with people who came from the same school/background as me.

I loved my experience with AIFS! I studied abroad in Cannes, France during the Spring 2019 semester. I was offered so many unique experiences, such as my internship during the Cannes Film Festival. During the process leading up to leaving, the admissions officers, as well as my Cannes Residential Director, were extremely welcoming and helpful. Also, I would highly recommend the London flight plan if it's available for your program! It's a great way to meet people in your program, the logistics are carefully planned out, and I loved exploring London too!

I loved my experience with AIFS. The advisor for my program is such an amazing person and she did an incredible job making our time abroad the best it could be. The extra trips and services from AIFS on top of those offered by my academic program took all the stress out of being abroad. Would absolutely recommend AIFS to anybody!

I studied abroad in Cannes, France and the experience was just outstanding. The people you meet, the experiences and the advisors are all so unique. My time abroad with AIFS is one of the best 4 months I've spent in school.

I am so grateful to AIFS for providing me with the best experience of my life! I was able to live in my dream country and experience so many amazing things all thanks to the support, all-inclusive cost, and unique experiences provided by AIFS!

The most beautiful, amazing and special experience of my life. I made my best friends there and I will never forget it. Right in the heart of London, too! Literally amazing. I would recommend to absolutely everybody! If you have the opportunity, please do it, you will not regret it.

I studied abroad in Barcelona for two semesters with AIFS and it was the absolute best decision I’ve ever made! I couldn’t imagine studying abroad with anyone else other than the AIFS Barcelona team. Inma (the Director) and her team are incredibly organized, always willing to help, and made my experience studying abroad an absolute dream!!! I would 100% recommend the AIFS Barcelona program to anyone.

AIFS was super supportive of my goals from start to finish. Plus, the all-inclusive price and included housing made transitioning to a new country easy. I would definitely study abroad with AIFS if I could!
