Student Testimonials:
"My experience in India was one of the most powerful and moving times in my life; it was both shocking and difficult, but ultimately it was empowering and utterly incredible. It made me truly appreciate all I have in life, and I feel like a better person because of the time I spent there."
India Medical Program
India
"My summer spent in London was the best experience of my life. From my internship in PR, I learned not only about the industry but about working in a different culture from my own. Making English friends has broadened my horizons and made the world much smaller to me. I am even considering moving back to London next year!"
London Internship Program
London, England
"The program provided me with some great contacts and experience in the Bollywood film industry."
Film & Media Program
Mumbai, India
"When the opportunity came up to do an internship overseas I took the chance. I am very interested in people and culture and diversity within markets all across the world. I was so excited to see how successful marketing is carried out in Europe and with a fast emerging service and marketing economy. I really believe that this internship did help me get more of that experience that I needed for my future career along with getting me in the swing of the ever-changing global advertising."
Dublin Summer Program
Dublin, Ireland
"Doing an internship this past summer was the best decision I have made. I was able to get work experience in a field that I was interested in and had the opportunity to live in another country for two months. I gained so much confidence from being abroad; I realized things I was capable of doing that I never imagined I would."
Dublin Summer Program
Dublin, Ireland
"Overall, Ireland was wonderful. Obtaining this experience in Dublin was a great decision. The experience was rewarding and my resume will benefit as well. I would recommend interning abroad to anyone who is willing to travel. Not only do I have some work experience, but I have made several new friends as well."
Dublin Summer Program

"Children of the Andes is a wonderful place to work if you are interested in international organizations and charities. My projects and tasks were extremely varied but I enjoyed this because I felt that it provided me with a greater understanding of the organization. My experience has provided me with invaluable experience. I am pleased with my placement."
London Summer Program
London, England
"All in all, I really enjoyed the experience. I made some great friends and I was able to do worthwhile work, almost all of which dealt primarily with law. I actually went expecting to be told to stuff envelopes or get coffee like many internship experiences I had heard about. Instead, I was constantly occupied with work; and, hopefully my project will prove to be a very useful source of information to the department."
Dublin Summer Program
Dublin, Ireland
"I learned many things during my internship, and experiences like these may be forgotten but the effects they leave last for a long time. The short-term experience was the internship itself but the long-term is the effects and the events that will take place after the internship. All of us forget how really big the world is until you learn not only how businesses operate, but also more specifically about the culture and people you encounter and speak with."
