Best decision ever
May 17, 2026by: Chloe Woodruff - United StatesI recommend everyone study abroad! AIFS made the process seamless and easy. The experiences I had here exceeded my highest hopes. Greece was the perfect place for me and had many supports there. I’ll spend forever reminiscing on this incredible experience!
Full Time Internship in Prague!
May 14, 2026by: Maci Picolo - United StatesI 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!
Best semester of my life
May 11, 2026by: Cruz Teller - United StatesEverything about AIFS is organized so well! I loved all the planned trips and classes, sports, and volunteering you could do within the program. I think my favorite part about this program was the meal plan and my friends I met and became so close with. I also learned a lot about Italy and got to explore a lot of my interests in my classes. My only one issue was with the absence policy. I get that 3 absences is generous, but I didn't like how you couldn't get an excused absence with a doctor's note. Unfortunately I got sick a lot during the program because students would come to school sick as they had no other choice. This caused sickness to spread rapidly among students in the program. It was disappointing that when I was sick I couldn't rest even if I had gone to the doctor and provided a doctor's note. I feel like maybe it would even make sense to change it to 2 or 1 absence as long as students can get their absences excused with a doctor's note.

This experience offers a unique opportunity to broaden my perspective, challenge myself, and gain a deeper understanding of both the world and myself.
