Dobry den! I have been working with AIFS in various locations since 2010. Now, I call Prague my home. Originally from Berlin, Germany, I received an MA degree in British and North American Studies from Potsdam University. As an exchange student, I spent a year living in the USA, where I acquired first-hand knowledge of the life and culture in America. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, baking, the cafés and galleries of Prague, and traveling.
You will find me in the AIFS office, right in the center of Prague, a short walk from the University classroom buildings and the main attractions of the city.
Prague is a beautiful city that has something for everyone with its amazing architecture, cafés, and variety of art, music and history. I look forward to helping you make the most of your time in this magical place.
The Resident Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.
Housing and Meals
Housing in shared accommodation is included. Living with other AIFS students, you will share a double room and bathroom and have access to communal facilities including a kitchen and study room. Kitchen supplies and bed linens are provided. Free Wi-Fi is available and there is a coin-operated laundry on site.
A meal allowance is included to subsidize the cost of purchasing breakfast and dinners in Prague Monday through Friday.
