My semester in Valencia completely blew me away! The AIFS staff did such a wonderful job at welcoming us and making sure we had the best experience. This program will forever be one of my favorite things I've done ever.

My time with AIFS in Valencia was exactly what an adventure abroad should be! The other students I met were welcoming and eager to immerse in the culture, and the activities provided by the program were perfect in helping us do exactly that. I learned a lot and was well-provided for while there. Not to mention, Janan is the best coordinator ever. You won't regret choosing AIFS!

I fell in love with Valencia and the people there. My host family was spectacular and showed me the city and how to cook traditional foods from Valencia. The program was great and the trips that we went on as a group were so cool to see more towns and learn more about the culture.
