Well worth it for the memories and friendships This program was amazing! Janan had so many fun events and really made Spain feel like home. I am so grateful to have had her as a coordinator. This is the perfect program for anyone looking into studying at Spain while also experiencing what Spanish culture is truly about. Valencia was the perfect mix of large city and local community.

Milan pros: - Amanda and Antonella are so supportive - Amanda helped me find my luggage after it was missing for a month, which I’m so grateful for - I really liked my graphic arts internship overall, applied photoshop skills, even a little bit of web dev Cons: - someone who arrived to Milan early took my room without informing me ahead of time, which frustrated me - felt like I didn’t belong sometimes because I’m introverted and didn’t vibe with a lot of my classmates who are extremely extroverted - work can feel isolating because the employees don’t always want to talk to me

Florence internship!!! I had the best time interning in Florence. It was such a valuable experience, and I would love to do it again. I made great memories and friends. AIFS and Cassidy Fickes made it easy from start to finish, and I always felt supported. The social events were also so much fun, and I enjoyed getting to know everyone in my program. I feel like I learned so much about myself this semester.

My experience with AIFS was great My experience with AIFS was great. My program leaders, Antonella and Amanda, were super resourceful and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for better leaders! I think the internship placements should be someone who is actually on the grounds talking to the company/interns, because what might look good on paper might not play out in real life. The accommodation was in a great location of the city.

AIFS MADRID INTERNSHIP Great time with my host company and program coordinator, I am happy with the people I was assigned. I appreciate helphousing and Lourdes a lot, they made my experience worthwhile. Only things that I wish were different were the small housing issues we had to deal with during the entire time here, but I appreciate all of the efforts of the staff to fix things as much as possible.
