The Rising Value of the Dollar

A Surge in the Value of the Dollar Means a More Affordable Semester in Europe!

In these turbulent economic times, some students may have put their dreams of studying abroad on hold, particularly in Europe, where the euro and pound have increased the cost of living for American students.

For all of those students, take note: the value of the dollar is on the rise! According to the New York Times, the dollar has risen about 14% against the Euro and 11% against the pound since July, making a semester in Europe more affordable for American travelers. The dollar has also gained value against several other currencies in the last year, making many other AIFS locations, such as Argentina and Russia, even more affordable than they were a year ago. Don’t let this opportunity go to waste! Now is the time to think about studying abroad.

The global economy can be unpredictable, which is why AIFS takes the guesswork out of our fees. Other study abroad providers’ fees can change by hundreds of dollars if they are not guaranteed. AIFS guarantees its published program fees in dollars. Regardless of fluctuations in international currencies, the AIFS price will not change, protecting our students from dramatic increases in the cost of their study abroad program.

Our comprehensive programs include housing, meals, transcripts, insurance, and a rich variety of built in cultural activities and excursions. The cost of these activities is locked in, which is why AIFS is the best value in study abroad.

When you are looking for the right location and provider for your study abroad experience, look no further than AIFS: providing the very best in study abroad at guaranteed prices.
