The most memorable experience of my life!
March 18, 2026by: Jocelyn Finol - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Rome, Italy: Semester
This program was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The weekend trips and activities were so well-planned and fun. Housing was some of the best I’ve seen compared to other programs my friends were apart of.
An exciting chapter of life

The AIFS Rome program was an incredible experience. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and easy to reach out to. The program's meal plan was amazing and allowed for students to visit several great restaurants. The many day trips and weekend excursions were unique to the program and were some of my favorite parts of the semester. I felt like I explored not only Rome but several parts of Italy through the program's many opportunities it offered. Some of my favorite activities offered by AIFS throughout the semester included a Roma football match, cooking classes, wine classes, guided walking tours, opera night, and museum visits. The activities made it easy to meet friends within the program and familiarize myself with the city and culture of Italy. I only wish the program was longer than 13 weeks, but with all the included activities and excursions, it was very worth its price. The academics were for the most part amazing. One of my professors is one of my favorites I've ever had and class was never boring or unmanageable. Many class sessions included field trips. As an Art History student, I thought that the program's classes for my major were incredible. My apartment was in the Prati neighborhood, about a 15 min walk from the school and very close to the Vatican, Piazza Navona, and the Tiber River. The semester was so much fun. Between AIFS's classes and all of their activities, I can't think of a single day where I felt like I'd wasted my time. I would highly recommend this program!

I decided to study abroad in order to get out of comfort zone. I chose a college that was relatively close to my hometown and had always been scared of branching out to a place that I was not accustomed to. What better way to break that spell than by flying halfway across the world!?

I decided to apply for an international program because study abroad provides the unique opportunity to live in a foreign country and fully submerge yourself in the culture. While I have had many opportunities to travel abroad, nothing can replace the experience of living in another country.
