Kayla G University of Florida
"Yes!! I would have found a cheaper apartment and make sure you have enough financial aid to cover your expenses. Always have more than what you may think you need."
Corinne S University of Florida
"It was an eye opening experience for personal as well as cultural reasons. I already knew what I wanted to study and the direction I wanted to go, but it gave me a chance to explore parts of the world that I would not have gotten to otherwise, meet people from all over, and see how people outside of the US live. "
Lori N University of Florida
"I was able to improve my Spanish language skills, learn to adjust to new situations and I made new best friends. It made me more aware of other cultures and made me want to experience other cultures. The history of Spain and the beauty of it made me appreciate every day that I was there. I wouldn't have wanted a different experi..."
Samantha D University of Florida
"I learned a lot, but most of what I learned came from when I traveled around before and after my program. Being there was not the best because Argentinians are difficult to befriend and there is no support from the program provider or the university to facilitate this. I learned a lot of Spanish which was good, but it made me ap..."
Sarah C University of Florida
"Yes! I had never been on a plane or travelled outside of the country before this experience. I learned so much about myself as well as Costa Rica. It is a beautiful country. The university and accommodations with host family were excellent and rewarding."

Jenny V University of Florida
"I became more confident in Spanish and was definitely impacted by the Pura Vida mentality adopted by all Costa Ricans. They teach you to smile more and enjoy the adventure! My study abroad term strengthened my passion to make Spanish part of my future career as a large animal veterinarian. I hope to return to certain places unab..."
Teresa D University of Florida
"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."
K M University of Florida
"I think one of the most rewarding things about traveling is meeting people from all over the world. Even being in a study abroad program with people from different parts of the country was eye-opening. I forced to try to communicate in a language I barely knew with people who didn't know my language much better. It was hard, but..."
Chelsea T University of Florida

"IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE I LOVED IT SO MUCH"
Eva U University of Florida
"Absolutely worthwhile. I improved my Spanish, got to see and understand a different culture and different way of life altogether. Studying abroad changed my outlook towards life in other countries, and if I'm able, I would like to live somewhere other than the United States, somewhere slower-paced like Guanajuato. I would pro..."
Caitlin H University of Florida
"This was one of the best experiences of my life. I will never forget it and it gave me the chance to not only learn about another culture and another educational system, but about myself. Studying abroad gave me confidence in my ability to speak the foreign language that I have spent nearly my entire academic career learning a..."
Amanda T University of Florida
"The experience was life changing. It shows you the different perspectives that are not always seen from the news feeds inside of the United States. In addition, the mentality and way of life is very different to some of our cultural norms. "
Frantz D University of Florida
"I definitely increased in fluency in the language and learned a great deal of history and culture. I chose to minor in Spanish due to this amazing experience."

"Yes, definitely worthwhile. I am more aware of understanding how different cultures work. Also, seeing the fabric of historical cities and their growth helped me in my studies. "
