Past Review Study Abroad At Stellenbosch University AIFS: Stellenbosch - Study Abroad or Service Learning at Stellenbosch University

"It was extremely worthwhile. Not only did it make me appreciate my own country it made me realize what I want to do with my life. It helped me gain a focus on the reality of the world that I didn't have before. I will always be idealistic in my thinking but being abroad turned me into a bit more of a realist and I am forever tha..."

Past Review Prague Is Awesome AIFS: Prague - Charles University

"Yes. Everything was worthwhile. Every up. Every down. Every dollar spent on passport pictures, postage, financial advice, fried cheese sandwiches, AA batteries.... and the list goes on and on. It can't be summed up in this survey. What I learned and how I changed and progressed is all particular to me and me alone. You will have..."

Past Review Study Abroad Program In Florence AIFS: Florence - Richmond in Florence and Internship Program

"Absolutely worth it! I grew as a person and learned a lot about myself and my values. Italy was a beautiful country that taught me to worry less about the small, trivial things in life. I cannot ever fully explain how my abroad experience affected me mainly because I am still finding new ways that I see that I am a changed or be..."

Past Review Studying Abroad Prepared Me For Life After Graduation AIFS: Prague - Charles University

"Definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot more independence, because at PC (and probably at most colleges) you are living apart from your parents but you still live in this bubble community where you're on a campus and everything you need is right there. Living for the first time in a city where I was forced to take public transport..."

Past Review Granada's Too Small For Us Texans AIFS: Granada - University of Granada and Internship Program

"I ENJOYED BEING ABROAD AND TRAVELING. I REALLY ENJOYED ISLAMIC CULTURE IN SPAIN- IT WAS THE BEST CLASS I COULD HAVE TAKEN. I WISH THAT I HAD BEEN IN A BIGGER CITY WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO TRAVEL TO OTHER CITIES. IF I WAS DOING IT ALL OVER I WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH A DIFFERENT PROGRAM- ONE THAT OFFERS AN APARTMENT WIT..."

Past Review Centro Lenguas Modernas Study Abroad In Granada AIFS: Granada - University of Granada and Internship Program

"It was fun. Like I said, I felt like it was a bit expensive for what we got. Cultural awareness remains unaffected. I miss my professor Carlos and am sad to return to UT classes, I'm going to continue to learn spanish. I want to go back to Spain asap."

Past Review Maymester In London AIFS London - Richmond, The American International University in London

"It gave me confidence to explore other parts of the world. I will definitely go back. I wish I would have known we weren't going to have as much time to explore the city, I would have sacrificed more sleep. "

Past Review Study Abroad In Granada, Spain AIFS: Granada - University of Granada and Internship Program

"Yes. I learned how the rest of the world lived, not just the American lifestyle. I learned to relax so much more and also learned how to live without the everyday comforts that I enjoy in the States. You gain so much more confidence and also learn to be an independent adult. Taking this opportunity will be one of the best you..."

Past Review Granada Study Abroad AIFS: Granada - University of Granada and Internship Program

"It was more than worthwhile. I feel more aware of the world, of Spain in particular. My confidence and communication skills have improved and I have a broader perspective of the world. The only downside is that now I want to travel the world -- but I'm still on a college student's budget!"

Drake University
Past Review Study Abroad In Spain AIFS: Granada - University of Granada and Internship Program

"It was definitely worthwhile. My perspectives have opened up in so many ways. Returning home now has showed me just how much I've grown up and learned; I see very few things the same as I did when I left. The world is a BIG place, and I feel so lucky and educated to have seen so many new parts of it."

Past Review Study Abroad At Charles University AIFS: Prague - Charles University
