Amazing!

I had an amazing experience here! I was able to work with a brand I loved and create 3 different collaborative collections throughout the duration of my internship. Being in a a new country, allowed me to get to know myself more, and taught me how to navigate the world from a new view. I came back to Los Angeles with a new set of skills, and so many fun stories to share. I would move back to London in an instant and recommend for everyone to go once in their life. I formed long lasting connections with my colleges and would recommend for everyone to go abroad and see what else the world has to offer❤️

AIFS!!!

My time with AIFS spread over the entire academic year of 2022-2023. I studied abroad in London, and I had a life-changing experience. I will be forever thankful to AIFS for the experiences I was a part of, the people I met, and the wonderful places that I travelled to. I learned more than I ever could have in a classroom in the US during my time abroad, and this was because of the wonderful program and especially the excellent staff associated with AIFS. The professors genuinely care about their incredible education curriculum but always put student experience and learning first. I feel changed by this experience and would recommend it to anyone that wanted to study abroad.

Pros
  • Traveling the world!
  • Experiencing new cultures
  • Amazing staff
Cons
  • Housing

La Vita Italiana

I'd always known that I would study abroad in college, but when I was introduced to programs that would allow me to be an exchange student in high school, I knew it was something I wanted to do. Unlike college where you've already had a few years of independence as an adult, going abroad in high school can seem quite daunting, but is so worth it! My time in Sardinia, Italy taught me not only another language and culture but helped me become more mature and independent as I learned to advocate for myself amidst changing host families and taking 3rd year Latin (in Italian) at a scientific high school when I'm more linguistically/artistically inclined... I still keep in touch with the friends I made during my year abroad and have visited a few of them in their home countries in addition to reuniting with my host siblings as adults in various European countries.

Pros
  • Learned another language
  • Gained confidence
  • Made lifelong international friendships
Cons
  • Remote location
  • Couldn’t choose school’s concentration
  • Difficulty changing host families

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If there was anything I could do all over again, I would travel to a new borough of London every weekend! Seeing new countries every weekend is super fun, but don’t forget to actually enjoy the city too!

An Amazing Experience!

Studying abroad in London through AIFS was one of the best experiences of my life! AIFS made the entire process of studying abroad as seamless as possible. The was able to answer any questions I had before, during, and after the program. When studying abroad through AIFS in London you get to live and learn in one of the most wonderful areas of London. There are several museums within walking distance of the dorms as well as multiple tube stops. The central location of the facilities allows for you to travel all over London, and even the UK.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Try a new style of cuisine each day! London is full of culture and is home to some of the most amazing food. I would recommend trying a new restaurant or type of food whenever you can!
