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.

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.

Berlin Fall Semester 2023 Berlin is a really wonderful and historic city to live in. My German is basically nonexistent and I still felt like I was able to get around fine. The AIFs staff are very supportive, and the organized actives were well structured and thought out. If you weren’t interested in some or all of the activities, you didn’t have to participate and there was plenty of time to do your own thing around Berlin or travel throughout Europe. I didn’t particularly enjoy my academic experience at Humboldt, there were a few good classes but also a few really awful ones. So, if I could do it again I would probably do the AIFS program with Freie Universität academic program.

Internship Abroad - Australia Spring 2024 I absolutely loved the program! The internship placement was fantastic and really added value to the whole experience. They were organized when it came to the travel plans and the trips included. Our on-site coordinator was amazing and cared for all of us as we explored Australia.

People The people I met were the reason for my rating. Aifs could’ve done a better job with apartments all around. We could’ve all been closer together at the least instead of being scattered, it’d be nicer if everyone was closer to the study center too. My apartment alone was significantly in worse condition than the others. I saw many apartments and all of them I would’ve rather lived in. Coordinators need to see the apartments for themselves in person before students arrive.
