AIFS Abroad in Rome, Italy: Semester Study + Internship

I had an amazing experience at AIFS! AIFS provided everything we needed to have a great experience here in Rome. Our classes were engaging and fun. A big pro of the program was the meal swipes and grocery gift cards! We were able to travel all over Europe and have the best new experiences. I would recommend this program!!

Below is my review for the semester program, as I've done the AIFS Rome program twice. Once just for classes, and once for an Internship First Time Review:I understand that study abroad being life changing is a cliche and I used to roll my eyes at it too! But then I did it, twice, both times through AIFS in Rome and I can truly say my life is changed. I went from a shy introvert who longed to go home after being home sick for 2 days, to suddenly someone with many friends and a new zest for life and desire to explore. The classes were scheduled to fit well with allowing for cultural out of classroom learning and the on site staff made you comfortable and were so welcoming. My experience was so incredible the first time, that immediately upon getting back to my home university, I worked hard with my academic counselor to make going back a possibility. I then returned to do an internship and grew even more. I cannot recommend this program enough! Internship Review: I was placed at the Embassy of Malta to Italy and was elated! This was a perfect fit for my interests and major! I was able to attend UN Meetings and meet ambassadors and learned so much! The program staff and intern coordinator helped us find a work/social balance with other students, and it was an incredible semester that flew by!
