Selting and Knight on a Thames riverboat enroute to visit Greenwhich
for British Life and Culture class, Spring 2003 |
"The AIFS staff was helpful beyond belief! Whether it was
directions to a British Life and Culture event, a recommendation
for a good restaurant, tube closure information, suggestions for
area travel, or simply a quick smile and a welcoming chat in the
morning, we couldn't have been made to feel more at home! Their
dedication and committment to ensuring our time in London was productive
and enriching is one of the fondest memories we'll take back with
us to the University of Wyoming!"
Feedback from Partnership students:
Carisa Olson from Metro State College of Denver spent Spring
Semester 2003 in London:
"The London Semester is the best thing I have ever done. England
is a beautiful country.
Carisa's Tips:
- Do the day trips. They are a lot of fun and it is a nice change
from the big city.
- The AIFS staff is amazing, they can help with anything.
- Travel as much as possible. Don’t wait until the last minute
to do things.
- Bring lots of money.
- Learn to get along without a microwave.
- Make the most of every minute you have here, three months goes
by quicker than you think."
Jackie Sabur from Mount St Mary’s College spent Spring
Semester 2003 in London:
"This trip has been one of the best experiences of my life.
Without a doubt, I would absolutely recommend the AIFS study abroad
program to anyone. The staff is friendly, extremely helpful, organized
and good fun! There was never a time I questioned my decision to
spend the semester in London. The AIFS people treat you like family
and keep you informed on the most recent eighties comeback! There
are so many opportunities to travel and see the many parts of the
UK. Hairy cows and fried mars bars – it doesn’t get much
better than that. Basically this trip was full of good people, good
food and good times. Thank you for making my time here awesome!"
Laurel Bucholz from Metro State College of Denver spent
Spring Semester 2003 in London:
"'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.' There
is no statement more true than this. I never once found myself bored,
no matter what the time was. Morning, noon or 3am – there was
always some form of entertainment to be had. Whether it was grabbing
English breakfast at one of the many local pubs, taking a stroll
through Hyde Park on a Sunday morning listening to all the nuts
spout out their philosophies or taking in a show at one of the dozens
of theatre venues around the town, I was constantly amused.
The only thing I didn’t like about London was having to leave!
I will even go so far as to be cheesy and quote Dirty Dancing when
I say 'I had the time of my life, no I’ve never felt this way
before….'"
Maribel Carbajal (Mar2142001@hotmail.com) from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
“Studying abroad in Salamanca through AIFS was the one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I only regret not being able to spend more time there. I miss it terribly and sincerely recommend it for anyone who is considering it. You'll fall in love with it!”
Daniela Cherbowsky (danielach3@aol.com) from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
“I have so many things to say about the trip....It was definitely a life changing experience! I not only had the opportunity to learn about other people and a completely different culture but I was also able to learn sooo much about myself. I came back as a different person with a different outlook on life and I am so thankful for that!
I want to go back in time and do this trip all over again!!!!!!!!!”
Jennifer Maurel (jlynn0616@yahoo.com)from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
“Salamanca and Europe in general was a really great experience for me. It was the first time that I had ever traveled in Europe and perhaps even life changing (dare I say?). I'm glad that I took this opportunity and have since decided that I must live in Europe again but next time for at least a year.”
Carly Gugglielmellie (carlygug@hotmail.com) from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
"Travel as much as you can, but don't forget to enjoy Salamanca..... and stop by Cafe Bar De Manuel's and say hello to everyone"
Rachel Inouye (mariko4986@yahoo.com ) from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
“It was the best time in my life so far and I thought it was a great experience. It opens your eyes to different cultures and it is just a great way to learn more about yourself and also learning how to get along with others. Thank you for taking such great care of us on our trip. It was unforgettable.”
Enrique Mar from Citrus College spent a semester in Salamanca:
"An awesome life experience and way to meet people from all over the world."
