Everything you could need in a program

AIFS went above and beyond my expectations. Moving abroad alone is so exciting but can also be really scary at first. Starting months before the program started, AIFS helped every student to connect with each other, prepare for our experience, and give us all of the resources we would need. There was multiple on-site staff that were always ready to help in any way they could. They organized amazing excursions for the students, including a wine tour, boat ride, painting, and more. Most students were housed in the same building, that also was beyond my expectations as it was so much nicer than the stories that I had heard about housing in Florence. I truly believe I could not have had a better experience and it’s thanks to this program!!
