Everything about this experience was amazing. Pre-departure and on-site staff were helpful and personable. Meal plan=BIG money saver. Flight package was helpful. AMAZING internship placement fit to me, and well prepared for the interview as well. Loved, loved, loved.

What would you improve about this program?

Honestly, truly honestly, not much needs to be changed about this program. They've been doing it a long time and genuinely take in the feedback they get, so they grow into what the students really need.

I was enrolled in the internship program where I worked at a UK company. It was an awesome experience and really makes my resume stand out.
The only downside was the one actual class I did take from the school. But, if you enjoy writing 3,000 word essays than this is your university!
This was by far the best semester of college, and I didn't want to go back home! I definitely recommend studying abroad, you won't regret it!

I studied abroad through the AIFS London internship. I took a couple of classes through the university and interned full time at E!Entertainment. It was the best semester of my college experience!
We lived in dorms in Kensington (Central London) and I was able to take a bus to the Piccadilly/Soho area for my internship. Through living in dorms and attending some classes I met some great American friends, through my internship at E! I met some great local friends. I keep in touch with both groups of friends.
Through my internship and classes I learn a lot about international business and it ultimately helped me find a great job out of college.

This program is amazing, specifically the international internship program. The experience was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It provided a real chance to experience British culture. The course, Contemporary British Culture, was extremely enjoyable and the internship I was placed in was my favorite part of my time in London. The dorm in Kensington wasn't amazing, but the location was. It was so close to everything in central London. The program provided tickets to a lot of fun events and outings, including a cruise down the Thames, which offers some of the best views of London.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you decide to study abroad with AIFS at Richmond in London?

Victoria: I decided to study abroad with AIFS after researching many, many study abroad programs. AIFS has an internship program, which I thought would be best suited to my interests. The other programs that are affiliated with my school don’t have an internship option. I also chose AIFS because the internship program was in London, which is ideal for a political science major.

What made your study abroad experience unique and special?

Victoria: The experience was beyond incredible. I learned so much out the British political system through my internship. I got to experience a foreign workplace and even got to see parliament in action. I loved spending three months in London, as it is so easy to travel around the UK. I visited cities like Manchester, Bath, and Liverpool. AIFS provided opportunities for many activities, including discounted theatre tickets, bus trips, and cruise down the Thames.

Victoria in front of British Parliament and Big Ben!

I saw six theatrical productions during my time in London, two of which were under £7. The location was also a memorable part of the experience because it’s in such a beautiful part of the city. The Kensington campus is within walking distance of Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Westminster, Whitehall, and Trafalgar Square. It is also within a few minute’s walk of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, which is where I spent a lot of free time. There are so many other factors that made the experience so amazing, but they are too numerous to list!

How has this experience impacted your future?

Victoria: I will never regret my decision to study in London. The internship alone is invaluable. Academically, it allowed me to draw together things I learned in a classroom setting and things I learned in the workplace. Professionally, I learned how to function in a workplace that is different from one I would find in the US, which led me to learn how to be adaptable. Personally, I learned how to be more independent and more confident. When you study abroad, you’re going to be in situations that are outside of your comfort zone. You learn how to handle those situations really quickly.
