Football Fanatic Finds Home in London
Posted on December 30, 2011 | No CommentsOne day before starting my Global Experiences program in London and checking in to this place called Nido (apparently it’s a student apartment).

Spotlight Alum: Leah Powell
Posted on December 20, 2011 | No Comments1. When/what/where was your internship? How was it? January-April 2011/Fashion Business/Paris, France. Internship was amazing!

It’s Too Darn Hot
Posted on December 14, 2011 | No CommentsIt’s 11:30pm and still 40 degrees C. For you “daft” Americans (nice word choice, Sileas), that converts into about 104 degrees Farenheit. Solid. I’ve always looked good with a little bit of a sweaty sheen. Thursday was a bank holiday so I went out Wednesday... -

Working it out in Florence

Looking Back on London – Emma, Journalism Intern
Posted on October 25, 2011 | No CommentsMy room looks like a disaster area as I try to determine if all my stuff will fit in my suitcases. Not quite sure how I accumulated so much in a span of two months. It seems just like yesterday I was unpacking these same... -

Housing Review from Gracie, Sydney Environmental Research/Policy Intern
Posted on September 10, 2011 | No CommentsIf you are considering the GE Australia internships, take it from a former intern, the price paid is worth it.

The Hustle & Bustle of London Living – Emma, Journalism Intern
Posted on September 2, 2011 | No CommentsIt’s still surreal to me that I wake up every morning in a bustling city with people walking to work below me. I’m used to the noisy streets below… well… I have to be because my roommate decidedly leaves the window open all the time.... -
