The Best Experience Ever!
December 30, 2023by: Gabriella Lucarelli - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Florence, Italy: Semester Study + InternshipI recently did a semester abroad in Florence, Italy with AIFS this past fall semester and it was such an absolutely amazing experience. From the application process to the time I left Italy the AIFS staff was incredibly helpful and truly wanted to make your experience as amazing as possible. All 10 of us in the program attended all of the events AIFS organized except for 1 and they were absolutely amazing. The welcome dinner and exit dinner were also at 2 places that I had been wanting to try and they were so delicious. The AIFS team was super helpful and made the whole experience just that much better!
An experience I wish to relive! Amazing!
December 27, 2023by: Addison Marriner - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Florence, Italy: Semester Study + InternshipThe most incredible 3.5 months of my life! I met the most amazing people, professors, locals, food - everything. Everyday felt like a dream, it was very surreal. I wish to go back already, with partial regrets of ever feeling homesick, which is obviously a normal feeling. I think about being in Italy very often and will find myself reminiscing on my old photos and videos nightly. If you are given the opportunity to study abroad - DO IT!! This was one of the most experiential things I’ve done in my life. The freedom of being able to travel each weekend and be adventurous to try new foods and meet new people really gives a new outlook on the world and life! There are so many wonderful cultures, people, lessons many people won’t understand or learn without the abroad experience. Being in Florence, everything was walkable and the views were incredible. I’ll never forget walking across the Ponte Vecchio every day to class. I was able to intern for a private chef/cooking company which was incredibly fun. My boss was soooo welcoming and loved to show me the culture of Italy. I miss the bottomless gelato, pasta, and wine!
Once in a lifetime experience
December 27, 2023by: John Lesser - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in Florence, Italy: Semester Study + InternshipIt was such a unique opportunity, not only being able to study a semester abroad but get the chance to have an internship as well. AIFS made it a very easy process leading up the start of the program which made it an easy transition once I got over there and am extremely appreciative of this experience I was able to have.
