AIFS Abroad

I originally had a 3-month internship from February to April, but I enjoyed it so much that I decided to extend it for another 3 months! Sydney is an incredible location—there’s so much to do here, and honestly, 3 months just isn’t enough time to take it all in. My internship has been amazing. I love the work environment I’m in, and living at Scape has made the experience even better. The housing is centrally located with easy access to everything I need. Scape also hosts fun activities for residents, which made it easy to meet other exchange students. I had so much fun attending these events—and they’re either free or super affordable! The people in Australia are incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly recommend studying or interning abroad here—it’s been one of the best experiences of my life!

I had a horrible experience with my host mom. Such a hostile environment. And then AIFS didn’t help throughout or after. I wish I would’ve avoided this program if it was going to be like this because it really did mask my overall experience.

I was able to make meaningful connections with multiple rappers, DJS, models, creatives, and comedians during my time here. I worked in the office mon-wed (varies depending on internship) so I spent the rest of the week exploring the city, hanging out with friends and taking photos of literally anything and everything.
