"Living in Milan made me see the differences between Italy as a whole but it has also allowed me to be a more independent person. In the future I would love to move back to this vibrant city."
Monica Q The University of Texas at Austin
"This year abroad was everything and more than I ever wanted out of a study abroad experience. Although my academic experience was off to a rough start, after changing for the second semester, that was completely fixed, and I was very happy with my change. I grew exponentially as a young woman, and this year shaped me into a mo..."
Lisa G The University of Texas at Austin

Celeste A The University of Texas at Austin
"I definitely think that we have much to learn from people abroad in terms of the way they live. Japanese people are very welcoming to Americans, and are definitely curious about our lifestyle. If the occasion calls for it, I would love to return to Japan, whether to visit friends/family, or to work."
Anthony F The University of Texas at Austin

"I now look at my own country differently. I improved Chinese greatly and gained a lot of motivation to continue. I made some very good friends. Future plans are still uncertain, but I am now considering using Chinese in whatever I do in the future."
John B The University of Texas at Austin
"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. ..."
Jacqueline M The University of Texas at Austin
"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..."

Caroline H The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes. I've met people that I now consider my best friends. I've traveled all over Europe and ventured into Africa. I've pursued academic and personal dreams. Ask yourself when you will ever have an opportunity again in your life to spend the better part of a year away from your work, school, and family. Don't waste that oppo..."
