AIFS Costa Rica
July 09, 2025by: Margaret Middaugh - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in San José, Costa Rica: SemesterAIFS made my study abroad experience absolutely incredible; they were well organized and had a great team both during the application process and on site. I thought the excursions were well organized and scheduled thoughtfully to help us see and do the most, and everything ran smoothly. I loved having the office just down the street from the school, and I knew someone would be there for anything I needed. They made the entire process feel so much less stressful and I was really able to just relax and soak it all in because of how well they took care of everything. I would recommend AIFS for anyone planning to study abroad!
Best program out there!
May 12, 2025by: Claire Castillo - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in San José, Costa Rica: SemesterAIFS Costa Rica gave me the best study abroad experience I could ask for! The staff were super friendly and outgoing, making sure that we were taken care of and adjusting to our new environment. They offered many different excursions and activities that immersed students into the culture and community, as well as tips and tricks for navigating the country. AIFS made me feel at home in a foreign country, and I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life.
A life changing experience.
December 28, 2023by: Ian Leatherman - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad in San José, Costa Rica: SemesterMy study abroad trip in Costa Rica was something that I will never forget. I had never travelled alone before, but with the aid of the people at AIFS my trip was amazing. I studied Biology and Spanish, while also immersing myself into Costa Rican culture. I am an aspiring bilingual physician, so the program aligned with my goals perfectly! During the 5 weeks of the program, I was able to travel to different areas of Costa Rica every weekend. So not only did I get to experience San José on the weekdays but I got to experience other wonderful cities in Costa Rica. All around, it was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone!
