I really enjoyed the AIFS summer program in Madrid at the University of Nebrija. I took an invigorating class on the Spanish culture and was able to practice my Spanish language skills in many different settings. In addition to the classes, the program provided us ample opportunities to explore the city and immerse ourselves in the day to day lives of Madrilenos.
Studying abroad was one of the best experience i’ve ever had! I was able to meet so many new people, travel easily, and experience so much. AIFS helped to make this experience this good. Everyone should study abroad and experience living in another country at some point in their life if they are able!
Being able to live abroad and getting the full cultural experience was life changing. I never wanted to leave! My roommates in the apartment were so nice and we are all still friends and it has almost been 2 years!
I can honestly say my semester abroad was the peak of my life. This was with help from Lucas, the program manager, as well as meeting some really great friends. Some highlights were the aifs trip to Morocco, where we were able to meet the Barcelona and Sevilla students. The trip to Granada was amazing as well. I have recommended AIFS to everyone as I believe it is the best study abroad program that universities have to offer.

I absolutely loved my experience in Madrid. I made so many life long friends and had a wonderful time immersing in a different culture and experiencing a University outside of the United States. There were a plethora of things to do and experience on a daily basis and I truly recommend studying in Madrid, Spain. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to study abroad. I definitely recommend this program! My living accommodations were amazing and the program managers were wonderful as well. There are so many opportunities for students to experience life throughout this program.
AIFS was so organized from the application process, to assistance with visa application and plane tickets with the flight package. Once I arrived in Madrid, our program directors welcomed us at the airport and brought us to our living accommodations. Having AIFS staff in Madrid was amazing to always know I had someone in case of anything. It was also awesome that they planned some day and weekend trips throughout the semester. I will never forget my time abroad and am so thankful so have gone with such a professional and experienced program.
