AIFS Abroad in Athens, Greece: Summer

AIFS provided so many amazing experiences. We had group dinners, tours of different sites, as well as a swim cruise. It was truly an outstanding experience and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to study abroad.

Study abraod changed my life for the better and I couldn't be more grateful for AIFS and the ability to go to Greece. I made some of my very best friends abroad and miss being there every day. Living situation was awesome, my roommates were great and I got to meet so many new, amazing people from all over. Study abroad gave me the wings I needed to fly.

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.

From beginning to end my experience with AIFS has been unforgettable! Everything is extremely organized and there is always someone to answer any questions. My program coordinator in Athens, Alice was so welcoming and played a huge part in making the trip amazing. She taught us so much about the Greek culture and advised us on where to go and what to see while we were there! The mini trips we took with her were educational but also so much fun. The campus, classes and teachers were all amazing and super helpful. I would defiantly recommend any AIFS program to anybody!

I have always wanted to study abroad and it was better than I could have imagined. Not only did I get to take classes abroad, I met so many people and got to experience a different culture and really immerse myself with the activities that were provided in the program. Would recommend to everyone!

I studied abroad in Athens, Greece at the American College of Greece in the summer of 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and I felt all of the pre-planned excursions were the perfect addition to the experience, as they were both fun and culturally enriching. I was also incredibly impressed with the housing situation. The apartments were spacious, clean and the resident assistants were fun and interactive. Finally, I appreciated how responsive all of the staff members were with any questions or concerns. I love to travel and I enjoyed everything about my experience in Athens! I highly recommend to anyone even considering studying abroad.

I had the best time in Greece. I went in with certain expectations and they were blown out of the water by all of the people I met and things I experienced. ACG has a world-class staff and I got to network with impressive writers and historians in my coursework. Additionally, I got to interact with skilled college students like myself from all over the country, and in some cases, all over the world. The staff at the ACG residences was beyond hospitable and I became quick close friends with many of them. I already had a ticket booked to return to visit with them in six months after my program ended. Alice and the AIFS staff were incredible helpful every step along the way, helping me navigate the massive amounts of paperwork, handle my finances, give sage advice, and help me accomplish my own personal goals in studying abroad. If I had the chance to do this program over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't change a thing.
