China

I had the opportunity to study abroad with AIFS to Nanjing, China in Fall 2009. This experience truly has shaped who I am today. I learned what it meant to be cultured and independent. I made relationships with people that will last a lifetime as well as unbelievable memories. China was the first time I ever left the country and AIFS welcomed me and took me along for an amazing journey. I am so passionate about the experience I had in 2009 that I encouraged my sister to go to Prague this fall through AIFS. I know that she is in good hands and I am confident that she too will have a life changing experience.
