A review on AIFS Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain
Reviewed by ccosme92student(Brooklyn College - CUNY) on
By far, the best experience of my life
Salamanca is a fantastic place to study abroad. It isn't an overwhelming city - it's small, friendly, and very welcoming. The professors at the university are very passionate and eager to teach and the University itself is one of the oldest in Europe. AIFS did a fantastic job immersing me into the culture. My homestay family was sweet, warm, and all around great people. The cultural advisors also kept us busy with tons of things to do around the city and opportunities to fall in love with city. At the end of my stay, Salamanca felt very much like home and I don't think I would have appreciated the city nearly as much if I studied with a different program

City Life
The Plaza Mayor is a fantastic place is be! People often just sit in the middle of the plaza just to hang out and catch up. Two very awesome tapas places are Cervantes and Bambu :) All of the bars are really fun - a couple of my favorite were Cubic Club, Submarino, Khandavia, El Savor (for salsa lovers!)

AIFS Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain Amazing Program. Amazing Experience.
Reviewed by Richard Kesser on .
There are many study abroad programs out there and I'm sure most are good. However, AIFS is more than good...it's absolutely amazing! From the application process, to the arrival in Spain, to the excursions that are set up for you to living the Spanish life - all remarkable. But what made it ever more special was having program directors who cared about their jobs and the students who participated in the program!

AIFS Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain La Vida es Mejor en Salamaca
Reviewed by HaleyF on .
Time goes by way too fast. I had no idea how much I would grow to love the city of Salamanca and everything about it. My life changed in five short months and I am happy it did. AIFS was amazing to me. Because of AIFS I was able to experience other cultures and travel to many different places. I am also now bilingual. They took care of me while I was there and turned a city thousands of miles away from home to my new home. Leaving Salamanca and leaving my AIFS advisors was one of the hardest things I had to do because they made it such a great experience.
When I went there I knew no one. By the time I left we were one big family. Going through AIFS to study abroad was one of the best choices I have ever made in my life. -

The experience of a lifetime! I cannot express enough how much studying in Salamanca has shaped me as a person since then. I think about it often, and my only regret is not being able to stay longer! Highly reccommend this program.

AIFS Study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain Best Summer of My Life
Reviewed by JRHubbard on .
AIFS Salamanca, Spain was the best experience of my life. I was only there for 6 weeks during the summer, but these 6 weeks changed my life. Salamanca is a small college town filled with students from all over the world. From the very moment we arrived in Salamanca the city and its people, our home stays, and our program directors were so welcoming. We all felt right at home and never had any problems. My home stay experience was what made my time in Salamanca so amazing. AIFS did a great job organizing and coordinating a tremendous amount of things to do for us and went out of their way to make us feel at home and to provide us with anything that we needed. There is something going on every single night in Salamanca so there is never an opportunity to be bored.
