Intern Abroad in Prague, Czech Republic with AIFS Abroad

I was definitely nervous before going abroad, but AIFS made the whole process so easy. They set you up with everything you need beforehand, and continue to support you throughout your entire time abroad. On my first day in Prague, I met our two program leaders, who are both locals and somehow knew everything about the city. They gave me so many great recommendations throughout my time there, helped me whenever I had questions about navigating life in Prague, and constantly checked in to see how my internship was going and if I needed anything. One of my favorite parts of the experience was getting to explore Prague and other nearby countries with the other students in the program. We became so close and made so many memories together. AIFS also planned activities throughout the summer that I never would have thought to do on my own, including pottery painting, a jazz concert, a theatre performance, group dinners, water activities, and even a weekend trip to a town in the Czech countryside. These experiences were such a huge part of what made the summer so special. I felt like I was actually living in Prague rather than just visiting as a tourist. Our program leaders showed us the local spots, introduced us to different parts of Czech culture, and helped us experience the city in a way we probably never would have been able to on our own. Professionally, I was also really happy with my internship placement as a marketing intern. It was a great fit for the skills I wanted to strengthen and the goals I had going into the summer. I learned what it’s like to work in a different country, communicate across cultures, adapt to different workplace norms, and build professional relationships outside of my immediate team. Between making lifelong friendships, connecting with people at my internship, exploring Prague and surrounding countries, and constantly trying new things, this summer pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best way. I came home more confident, independent, adaptable, and grateful for all of the people and experiences that made this summer so unforgettable. I would choose this experience a million times over. ❤️

I am very lucky to have been a part of AIFS Spring Semester Abroad. I had a wonderful experience meeting new people, trying to food and exploring new places! Jenny and Renata are such charismatic people and they will do everything in their power to make sure you have a comfortable transition. They also are great mentors and all in all, a great time to be around. Prague was an amazing city and I really appreciated everything the program had to offer. I definitely recommend!

I was able to intern abroad with AIFS in Prague in the summer of 2025. It was honestly one of the best experiences I have ever had. Renata and Jenny were our on the ground contacts and they were the best support system. They were always there when anyone had concerns or simple questions; they organized some of the best outings that helped interns and study abroad students connect as well. Being able to do this internship abroad opened up a lot of opportunities for me and I still find myself reminiscing about my time there. Prague is a beautiful city which offers so much culture and history. Likewise, Jenny and Renata gave many suggestions for apps and navigation tools that made it easier to navigate the city. It's an experience I treasure and one I won't soon forget!
