All the staff with AIFS are kind and welcoming and clearly go above and beyond to help in any way they can. I felt respected and taken care of during my time working with them and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Galway is a quaint city full of rich culture and incredible people. My specific internship included working with researchers at a local university (ATU). I met and worked with Gaelic football players in the local area to test reliability of an eye movement device. When we weren’t working, we were either exploring different areas, sitting at a local pub or building friendships with other interns on the program. There were many options when it came time to do other things than work; including trips which were set up by AIFS such as weekend trips to the Aran islands, Cliffs of Moher and a Corrib River cruise. Our location coordinator, Karen Lyons, was incredibly helpful and provided all the support we needed for a very successful summer internship. It was truly an incredible experience filled with laughing, dancing and forever long friendships.

The trip was one of my favorite since it was my first time coming to Europe by myself the staff was super accommodating and when I had a problem (not very often) they fixed it right away

It was absolutely the best experience I could ask for. Everywhere we stayed was beautiful! AIFs made sure that where we stayed was in the most PERFECt locations throughout the three cities we went to. The travel between countries was such a fun experience too! Getting to experience the Eurostar, and going on trains and planes with the group was such a fun time too I never minded the travel days! The tour manager and staff were all so very kind and helpful- our tour manager was the BEST. He was so helpful, funny, and always so welcoming- truly MADE the experience what it was. The people I met on the trip were amazing and having 3 weeks to bond with each other was great. Lifelong friendships were definitely made on this trip. I could not recommend going with AIFs more. I had the best time and would absolutely go again if I could.

When going to Lake Como. It had to be the best experience ever!! Amanda and Antonella made sure we had the best experience. It was about making sure you got the best view of the town. The boat ride was insane, the houses one could see were just mesmerizing. Truly a great experience.

I had a great time during the trip to Como. I loved the boat ride as I feel I got a real look at the whole area. Antonella and Amanda were great in so many ways. You could tell they really wanted us to have a great time. They created such a beautiful experience as we had the boat ride and lunch together. In addition we also got the rest of the day to be independent from the program and explore the town. I appreciated their support at the first half of the day and they trust in us for the majority of it. It is great to be part of an experience that really understands we are adults. It was a lovely day!

My study abroad experience in Sevilla, Spain with AIFS was wholeheartedly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and I couldn't have gotten luckier with the location I chose. Not only was the city itself absolutely marvelous, but each and every person I met while I was there made the experience that much better. However, the part of the journey that allowed me to have the memories that I did was the structure provided to us by AIFS and the on-site team in Sevilla. Without their help assimilating into the city, succeeding in our classes, and facilitating our excursions, my experience would've been much more difficult and certainly less memorable. My choice of Sevilla was made because of the excursions AIFS provided and the different classes they offered on their website, and I can only imagine how it would've turned out otherwise. I am forever grateful to AIFS for giving me this opportunity and the directors in Sevilla for making it as fun as possible, and for anyone considering studying abroad in Spain, I highly recommend Sevilla.

AIFS offered many travel exclusions within their program that were very fun and reduced the stress of planning traveling within our host country of Ireland! The program director was not only a very good resource but also someone to help guide us and make us feel safe throughout entire study abroad experience! Overall, would highly recommend this program!
