Roommates Natalija and Juliana had never been to a boarding school before AIS-Salzburg and both were nervous when they first arrived; Nalalija joined in the fall of 2023 and Juliana in the fall of 2024. Each have made the adjustment and are now fully immersed in boarding school life.

“It was very scary at first, but it is a great chance to have more friends,” said Juliana of her thoughts when she first arrived. “Natalija has become like my sister. I really like the bond that we now share.”

“Honestly, I was very scared and didn’t know how to feel about it,” said Natalija. “But everything when I came here felt more comfortable. I love living with Juliana. It is really nice getting to know a new person and a new culture because is a big part of coming to a boarding school.”

We invite you to watch the entire video below with Natalija and Juliana, as they show us around their dorm room and share their boarding life experience.
