Study Abroad with AIFS
"It was definitely worthwhile. I feel like a completely new version of myself now. I am more confident, self-aware, assertive, accepting, and so many other things that I never imagined I could accomplish in just four months."
A student Drake University
"I learned to be more confident and independent. I learned to go with the flow and be okay with a change of plans and a change of lifestyle. "
Katrina L Southwest Baptist University
"There were many different lessons learned from being abroad. I learned about different cultures which I experienced when I was living in France and traveling around Europe. I exercised my independence and responsibility by planning my trips and traveling alone as well. I think it's important to realize you cannot always wait on..."
A student Seton Hall University
"I learned how to live on my own in a foreign country and culture, which is an invaluable skill for my future career. In addition, I learned to travel throughout Europe and navigate several different cultural and language barriers. I learned a lot about myself along the way, and it was a great opportunity to try something complet..."
Griffin U University of Alabama - Tuscaloosa
"I learned that everyone is living a different life. You cannot assume you know a person just by looking at them. I also learned that it's okay to miss out, although I missed my friends at home and wished I was doing the things they were, study abroad gave me the ability to step back and say "hey, yeah that's cool, but I'm in Spa..."
A student Saint John Fisher College
"A new perspective on global issues. There was nothing like being in Western Europe during the Paris attack."
Theodora B Middlebury College
"I believe that studying abroad should be a requirement for all American students. I think this would show Americans to be more open-minded and give them a more global perspective, as opposed to the typical narrow-minded bubble that most Americans live in. Studying abroad is a time for a lot of self-growth to occur. "
A student St. Mary's College of Maryland
"This was an extremely worthwhile experience. I learned a lot about myself through the experience. I did not do any travel before this trip on my own, but I was able to travel and have an amazing time during study abroad. Study abroad also allowed me to see tons of cultures and meet many new people to share and compare experience..."
Conor J St. Mary's College of Maryland
"That I made the friends I will keep forever"
A student University of Hartford
"I grew as a scholar and a person. I gained confidence and independence, and my Spanish got better. I have memories from that summer that I will have my whole life. It was completely worth it. "
Katrina L Southwest Baptist University
"I learned more about myself and grew more than I ever thought possible. I was always shy and quiet and was extremely anxious about making new friends abroad and through studying abroad and AIFS I made some of my best friends. I was also able to go on trips with people strangers and come back as friends. I learned that I can do..."
Maura O Marywood University
"The experience was extremely worthwhile, I would recommend going abroad to everyone! AIFS is a great company to go through and the Salzburg program is wonderful if it's a good fit for you!"
Taylor O University of Rhode Island
"I learned how to better organize my time and money in order to get the most out of my experience. I learned a lot about myself and how to be self-sufficient. "
Megan M Xavier University
"I would definitely say that I gained more outside the classroom than I did inside the classroom, which doesn't mean that my classes were useless but, rather, indicates the value of living in a french-speaking country."
Isabel L Middlebury College
"Friendships. An improvement in my spoken and written Spanish. Permaculture and off-grid living experience. Herbal remedies to disease. A confidence to return and to travel throughout other foreign countries."
Monica P Berea College
"I learned how the world works and how different cultures are more similar to our own than we believe. Perspective was invaluable to learn."
Cage M Washington State University
"I learned how to grow from mistakes, how to pack a suitcase, and how to make the most of every day. I also grew a lot as a French speaker. It was extremely worthwhile and I believe that everyone should take this opportunity if they can. It will change your life. "
Savannah B Howard University
"That I was able to. I gained so much confidence in myself because I survived on a whole other continent for four weeks. The world is just another place and it's no different than the US. I guess it seems less scary? More attainable, and I'm not afraid to go for something anymore."
Nicole H Missouri State University
"More independence. A sense of the vastness of the world. Language. Peace."
Kara S Liberty University
"There are many things I gained from being abroad. I experienced a different culture and learned to appreciate international visitors in the United States more than I had before. I became more aware and empathetic because I knew what it felt like to be treated with patience and kindness but also shortness and rudeness. I also lea..."
Bridgette G University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"The biggest thing I learned on the trip was how to let go of my fear of doing things alone. I was able to go places and walk around town by myself without any anxiety hanging over me. This transferred back to my life in America really well, as I feel a lot more independent than I did before my trip. "
Emily C University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
"I gained more confidence in my speaking ability and also discovered the career path I am currently pursuing as I get ready to graduate. Studying abroad was absolutely worthwhile and I truly believe everyone should find time to go abroad during college. "
Nora R College of Charleston
"I learned more about my ability to be independent and navigate myself with confidence around a huge city- completely worthwhile, once in a lifetime experience! "
Taylor A University of South Carolina - Columbia
"Everything I did was worth it. I loved every second. "
Malorie K Florida Gulf Coast University
"I met so many amazing people on my trip, received a cross-culture education, and saw so many beautiful sights that Ireland has to offer. I also learned so many things about myself, including my ability to make new friends, travel independently, and handle other new and unfamiliar situations. Going abroad was without a doubt wort..."
