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.

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.

Going abroad has been fantastic… My experience abroad has been fantastic and something I’ll always remember. All of the supervisors and staff have been a great help throughout the entire process. Getting to know the other abroad students has also been amazing and I now have connections for life I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Through all of the trips we made and the experiences I got through my internship, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and the memories I’ve made here. I think the program was well worth it and I honestly can’t think of anything I’d really change :)

Amazing experience in Salamanca Everything the program did for us was great. The tours, the welcome and farewell meal along with the activities was a good way to welcome everyone and get to know our program director and mates. The information provided about the environment we was getting into was helpful to have out expectations set. The way we got merge into the culture, homestays for example, was good to know how the life in Spain is. I think that overall the program did a great job bringing their students to a complete unknown country.

Great Program! I really enjoyed my internship and this program! I had an amazing internship experience and got to meet life long friends along the way. I would definitely recommend this program to someone who want to have a work experience and study abroad!
