"ABSOLUTELY worth it. Five stars because I made lifelong friends with memories that I will never forget. Studying abroad made me realize how much I want to travel and see the rest of the world. "

"I'm a French teacher now, so my experiences in Grenoble have shaped how I teach and interact with my students. I am more culturally aware and more sensitive. I gained a great deal of independence from the experience and would gladly go again, except this time for a year!"

"I had the most incredible experience. I loved the city, it was so beautiful and there was always something to do. The language and people take a little time to adjust to, but it's well worth it. Furthermore, I had a blast living and traveling with my fellow AIFS students - we're all still good friends! My experience in St. Peter..."

"My only internship experience on my resume was through my program and school (UNSW) and it was the most valuable experience I have. I got real world training in a global company and was able to work with some of nicest people I've ever met. Even though I worked for free I look back at my time in my internship and it's weird to t..."
