Why not study abroad for a full year?
Students enrolling for a full year (two semesters) at the same campus
receive an automatic fee reduction of $2,400 towards their second semester fee. If they so wish, they can use their original return flight at the end of the second semester and pay the “without airfare” second semester fee less $2,400. Alternatively, they can return home between semesters, book an additional round trip ticket through AIFS for the second semester and apply the $2,400 reduction to the “with airfare” second semester fee. Students paying this reduced, full-year fee may not take part in the spring semester orientation.
Students who wish to enroll for a full year at two different campuses will receive a minimum reduction of $1,000 on the second semester fee. Contact AIFS at 800.727.2437 to find out the exact fee reduction available for your chosen second campus. Full year students are responsible for their own housing and meals during the break between fall and spring semesters. All dates and itinerary are tentative and subject to change.
