Classes at City University, Internship in Parliament Past Review
By Daniel R (Political Science and Government., Providence College) for
Arcadia: London - London Internship Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Yes. My decision to study abroad was one of the best decisions of my life. Working in Parliament gave me a behind the scenes look to the inner workings of UK government. I recommend this program to anyone interested in politics. I gained an invaluable insight into being part of the work force.
