Absolutely Loved It!

I had the opportunity to study with AIFS at the American Business School of Paris last summer. Due to the season, our program group was small, making it a bit challenging to meet people. However, the living situation was fantastic, located in a safe and central area of Paris, with the metro just a 5-minute walk away for convenient city exploration. Academically, the business school was easily accessible by metro, and the smaller class sizes, possibly due to the off-month scheduling, created a diverse and engaging learning environment. I was fortunate to have an exceptional teacher with extensive experience running her own business. Paris itself was breathtaking, steeped in history, and offered an abundance of activities. Even after a month and a half, I felt there was still so much more to discover in the city. Overall, I can't recommend this program enough – it was truly a dream come true that I won't forget!
