A typical day could include classes taught on campus or at museums and historical sites, professional guided tours, and social activities organized by AIFS Summer Advantage staff members. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week in class. In addition, program coordinators organize numerous cultural outings, and students have time to explore independently.
