I truly had the best once in a lifetime experience
March 20, 2026by: Gabriella Gladu - CanadaProgram: AIFS Abroad Internships in New York City, United States

The best experience of my life
March 20, 2026by: Sydney Duncan - United StatesThough my time in London was short, every moment felt so special. London will forever hold a piece of my heart and I can't thank AIFS enough for such a life changing experience. I am so grateful for all that I learned and experienced.

Better than I could imagine
March 20, 2026by: Evy Miller - United StatesI studied abroad to learn the course content, strengthen my Spanish, and hopefully gain an understanding of another culture. I did get to learn from my courses and practice my Spanish, but I also learned so much more than I expected about the geography, environment, and culture. My program was only five weeks, but the knowledge and understanding that I gained will be with me for the rest of my life. The experiences and friendships that I gained were priceless I cannot speak highly enough of my "Mama Tica", LCI Veritas, my roommates, and most importantly, the AIFS staff that made it all possible. While I was in Costa Rica I posted multiple videos about my experiences on my TikTok @syd.evallen

I've always wanted to study abroad because I believe it's crucial to step outside my comfort zone, explore new places, and immerse myself in different cultures. This experience offers a unique opportunity to broaden my perspective, challenge myself, and gain a deeper understanding of both the world and myself.
