Past Review Amazing Month!
My time abroad was absolutely worth it. The art and culture of the country was everything I wanted and more. I saw things I had only dreamed about for years, and there were completely surreal moments that I still look back on like it was all a dream. Completely and 100% worth it. - Western Washington University View Entire Review

Yes! I learned so much about history and myself as a person. - Seton Hall University View Entire Review
I came back with Italy with an entirely renewed perspective. It was hard transitioning back to real life at first but ultimately the experience was well worth it. I have re-evaluated my goals and what I want out of life and I feel that the Italians' general easygoing and carefree attitude has had a positive effect on me. I becam... - Arizona State University View Entire Review

My study abroad was definitively positive. It opened my eyes to the world out side of my comfort zone. Also it made me want to travel not only around the world but also the United State.This trip has made me a more confident and independent person. - Bradley University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. It truly was amazing and I have honestly had a hard time being home! I loved Italy and the other parts of Europe i visited more than anything, especially Italy though. I feel like I could have stayed in Rome, I was very sad to leave, the experiences, the people, everything cha... - Saint Anselm College View Entire Review
My experience abroad has opened my mind to new people, languages, and daily challenges of communication. I have learned about different customs, to adapt, to be more independent, and to react outside of my comfort zone. I have grown as a person, and from my first time abroad I have gained confidence to do this a few more times. ... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
ABSOLUTELY!!! I have nothing negative to say at all about my program or about my experiences in Italy. Studying abroad, specifically with AIFS in Rome was by far the best decision of my college career. - University of Florida View Entire Review

Past Review Rome: Do It
I was very close to not coming on my study abroad program because I thought I would be missing out on too much at school in Berkeley, but I am so happy that I went. It was definitely the best and most rewarding semester of my life. This was my first time out of the country and it was definitely the best way to experience it. ... - University of California - Berkeley View Entire Review

One Hundred Percent - Bradley University View Entire Review
I think studying abroad was the best decision I could have made, I met great people and got to do amazing things. I also got to understand what it means to be me in a completely new place with new surroundings. I grew immensely personally and also got to contribute to the global society unlike ever before. - Assumption College View Entire Review
YES! I feel as though I am a more cultured person and that I have a better understanding of European culture. I feel like this trip has broadened my horizons and has challenged me in many ways. I have learned to be a more go-with-the-flow kind of person and I have a new appreciation for the little things in life. This trip has d... - Augustana College View Entire Review
Past Review Italy
YES - Saint Anselm College View Entire Review
COMPLETELY. I have been back for a month and a half and I still don't realize where I went. I traveled through multiple European countries and got to meet amazing people. I will never forget my time abroad. It will be something I can reflect on for the rest of my life. - Saint Anselm College View Entire Review
I learned many things with AIFS Rome. I learned that to really know about someone you have to give them the chance to show you their life and culture. You must live as they do in order to understand their views on life. By immersing yourself in the culutre of a country is how your knowledge of things grows, when you get out of h... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned so much. I loved every minute of it. - University of Rochester View Entire Review
