Fall 2011 Student Comments

AIFS in IndiaHow does a semester abroad with AIFS change your life? Here are some comments from our Fall 2011 students:

My experience with AIFS opened my eyes to a whole new world. Getting the chance not only to travel but to live abroad and soak up the local culture was beyond any of my expectations. The staff is wonderful and is willing to answer any of your questions or help solve any of your problems. Reflecting back, I realized that I am a changed person. I learned more during this one semester abroad than my past 3 years of college. I learned who I was as a person and became more comfortable with myself. Study abroad can take you out of your comfort zone, which allows you to figure out yourself. To me there is no greater thing that I could have taken from my experience.
– Vanessa, University of Rhode Island, AIFS in Florence

AIFS gave me a foundation from which I was able to make my own experience in India. It didn't limit my travel plans the way some other programs did, and the AIFS group had a sense of community that the other programs on our campus lacked.
