I am extremely happy with this program I am extremely happy with this program and I beyond grateful to have had this opportunity to study abroad and have all the support from AISF. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in studying or interning abroad. While I can not speak for other locations, my experience in Milan, Italy was very rewarding.

I loved my time with AIFS in Rome I loved my time with AIFS in Rome, and if I could go back in time, I would do it all over again! The apartment I stayed in was gorgeous, and I really loved the AIFS meal plan. No other program I looked at offered a meal plan like that, and even with my dietary restrictions I had no issue finding amazing food to eat. I really enjoyed my course and professor as well. All around a great study abroad experience.

Really helpful and welcoming The company was amazing in helping me feel welcomed and accepted into a new country. They provided resources that were really helpful throughout my stay and I believe that without them I would've been kinda lost on where to go and how to go about things.

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.

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.
