Great experience

I had a wonderful experience with AIFS for my summer semester. The program provides some excursions depending on your duration; I was given tickets to museums, a Seine boat tour, and Opéra Garnier. Some excursions were at specific times and if you couldn't make it during the group time, you were given a ticket to go on your own. I know students in the second session had the chance to go to Versailles (I was 1st session and was not eligible for this). I met and made friends with others in my program, through AIFS and CCFS. My host family was PHENOMENAL and I know my friends who also stayed with hosts had a great experience. My friends in the dorms said it was okay, but living with a family would have been more fun. A majority of the experience is not hosted by AIFS so you have to be willing to make friends and do things on your own. One critique I have is that I wish the metro card was included in my tuition. Overall, I loved my experience with CCFS and AIFS.
