The Deciding Factor
by: Andrew Clark - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Florence, Italy: SemesterThe biggest reason why I chose AIFS instead of other programs is because of the amount of culturally immersive activities that they had planned out for the students when compared to other programs. Things like weekend trips to Rome and Venice really grabbed my attention along with the other huge list of smaller optional activities locally, or just a day trip away. I'm truly so thankful for the experiences provided by AIFS, as they helped create a welcoming atmosphere. Things like cooking cla...
Eye-Opening Experience
by: Andrew Clark - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Florence, Italy: SemesterIf there is one thing I would say to someone considering going abroad, I would tell them to do it. I was definitely worry-some at the thought of leaving home to live in an unfamiliar foreign country, but i must say that AIFS really does their part in making you feel at home. With their friendly & welcoming staff there with you every step of the way from pre-departure to "I don't want to go back home". They do their jobs very well in providing an experience that certainly will never go forgotten....

It was always something I wanted to do in the back of my head, especially after I had the opportunity to take my first trip to Europe with my mother at 16. I think after my two weeks abroad and seeing the culture of Europe, I really didn't want to miss out on the opportunity of living abroad in Europe for four months. So, when it came time for it, I started looking at programs and finding the best time for me to do a semester abroad.
