AIFS Down Under

I studied abroad multiple times and the AIFS program I participated in was by far the most well-run. The company did a great job with communication for flights, choosing courses, housing and trips throughout the semester. Their staff actually had an office on campus so you always knew where to find them, which is rare compared with other programs. Overall, I thought they struck a nice balance between involvement and also allowing space to explore the country on your own. I have discussed with many other students who studied abroad and I know the services AIFS offered made my situation much less stressful than possible alternatives. They also had a few cool features, such as saving some of your money and issuing it out on a monthly basis via a credit card program.
