One of the Most Amazing Summer Internships Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I did a 11 week internship in Madrid, Spain. It was honestly one of the best summer of my life. I was helped form the very start on my transition into the new country. The Program Coordinators were always there for me and wanted to help me in every way possible. When I was trying to see what to do with where to live and how to get around, they were very quick to help out. Also, the Intern Group was great to have social events for the group as well. I have met some of my best friends in this program. I had amazing friends that went all around Europe with me and got to go to tapas nights or night clubbing. I still talk to a lot of them to this day! But most of all, the internship was a great experience. My major is Computer Science and I got to work wait ha tech start up. It was an amazing first internship opportunity. I got to utilize my skills that I learned at my university while also learning Spanish as well. I got to work in a Spanish environment and increase my resume too. It was really worth it once I left Madrid and was at a Career Showcase. So many of the companies were interested at how my internship was in Spain. It helped me stand out and become a more unique individual. In every way, this was a great experience. Inside and outside of the internship, I made sure to make the most of the program. The only annoying thing with the internship is the price. It was frustrating always having to tell people that I didn't get paid for this internship and that I did all the work for free. I wish the companies were a little more grateful for our work and helped contributed to our stay. It would make me feel a lot more appreciative and allow more people to want to apply to the program.
