An Amazing Experience Past Review
By Maria R (New York University) - abroad from 08/16/2013 to 11/01/2013 with
Internships in London
30 is the new 20 and interning abroad is the new study abroad. I am glad I made the decision to intern abroad and not study. My internship has helped me to grow on a professional front and now I have something great to put on my resume and even something better to talk about while on interviews.
Review Your Program

It was an internship |
|

I thought EiAbroad prepared me well for London. It helped to be coming from a big city, NYC, so there wasn't as much cultural shock as others. |

London flats are much was you would imagine after watching the movie "Notting Hill" |
