BU London Internship forced me to enter the real world and become independent. Past Review
By Emily W (Political Marketing, Providence College) for
Boston University: London - London Internship Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I became much more independent and much more open to different ways of thinking. I have never been in a non-religious school, so the BU london was a first for me. I could definitely see the difference in behavior. My cultural awareness was greatly increased because i had an internship. This is the best way to learn about a culture- not through a museum, but the actual workplace.
