AIFS Abroad in Athens, Greece: Summer

My study abroad experience with AIFS changed my life! The events and excursions they took us on were very well planned and also left time for us to do our own thing. The classes the college offered were thought in English and were not too difficult. The staff were reachable at all times whenever we had an emergency and they cared about us very deeply, I’ll miss this people now that I am back home.

My month-long study abroad experience in Athens, Greece, during July was a captivating journey filled with cultural immersion, breathtaking explorations, and delightful connections. From venturing through the enchanting islands of Hydra, Mykonos, and Aegina to discovering landmarks like Meteora and Porto Rafti, each destination offered a unique and enriching perspective. Indulging in the rich Greek cuisine, meeting incredible people, both locals and fellow study abroad students, and the dedicated support from program advisor Alice collectively shaped an unforgettable and rewarding experience. Greece's vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and the warmth of its people created a tapestry of memories that will undoubtedly linger in my heart.

I had the best experience studying abroad with AIFS in the summer of 2022 in Athens, Greece. I enjoyed the two classes I took (Aspects of Greek Art in Athens and Astronomy). I especially enjoyed visiting the different museums in Athens for the art class! AIFS does a great job of immersing the students in the culture. Students were taken on several tours/trips around Greece including downtown Athens, the island of Aegina, and the theater of Epidaurus to name a few. I loved my experience with AIFS and I hope everyone gets the chance to study abroad during their college years.
