BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!
This program was hands-down the best six weeks of my life. The AIP program in Valencia is PERFECT for studying abroad in Spain, and here's why:
1. LOCATION! Valencia is on the beach, easily accessible to Barcelona, Madrid, and other big Spanish cities.
2. PEOPLE SPEAK SPANISH! You will find that in other big cities in Spain, you are not quite as immersed in the culture because they're so touristy that everyone is speaking to you in English. In Valencia, everyone speaks to you in Spanish, and it really helps you learn and/or improve your language skills.
3. VIBRANT! Valencia is HOPPIN'!! They have a really vibrant nightlife, with all kinds of parties and festivals. Plus this city is just overflowing with culture. It's the third biggest city in Spain, so you still get that big-city feel, but without all the tourists of Barcelona and Madrid.
4. AIP! This school really does a great job in teaching the language and culture as well as making you feel comfortable in Spain. The teachers there are all great educators and just nice, down-to-earth people. It's laid back enough where you can get a drink or go out dancing with them after class! Plus I actually LEARNED so much in my classes!
5. MIGUEL! He is the coordinator for the program, and sets up all the trips and excursions. MIGUEL IS THE MAN. Period. He speaks perfect English as well as Spanish, and he'll set you up with whatever you need, including trips to other places in Spain or surrounding countries, or just answer any questions, and ease any doubts/concerns you might have. He'll tell you the best spots to go, where not to go, how to get there, etc. He's just so cool; I promise he'll be one of your favorite people ever!

I had a great time in AIP and I really recommend it!!! It was a great experience for me. I could not only learn Spanish language but also get to know a lot about Spanish culture and lifestyle. The teachers were friendly and helpful. I met people from all over the world so I liked it very much.
The city also is awesome. There are a lot of interesting things to do and school always offers you some activities that you can participate. It helped me to make friends, improve my Spanish and learn about Valencia. I really enjoyed my time there.

Ich war schon zweimal bei AIP in Valencia, weil es mir so gut gefallen hat. Beim ersten Mal habe ich nur einen Sprachkurs gemacht und beim zweiten Mal ein Praktikum, das mir AIP organisiert hat.
Das Gebäude der Schule ist total schön und super eingerichtet, die Lehrer sind alle echt nett und ich habe mein Spanisch schnell verbessert.
AIP hat jeden Abend Aktivitäten organsiert, um die Schüler der anderen Kurse kennenzulernen und somit mussten wir natürlich Spanisch sprechen.
Ich kann jedem nur empfehlen bei AIP einen Sprachkurs zu machen, auch die Praktikumsvermittlung hat spitze funktioniert.
Es war beide Male eine super Erfahrung in Valencia.
