"Even though things might not always go as smooth as you had hoped, you’ve just got to learn to brush it off and go with it for then you’ve learned the Italian culture. Regret nothing. Make the most of what you are given, for once in life opportunities only come around once."

“IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE AND TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!! I have gained so much guidance from doing an internship that I can now take back to college and apply in my current and future studies. I am completely motivated even more in life and in searching for a career path that works best for me! It was so incredibly valuable to do an internship abroad DURING my college study because now I am even more motivated to study and to pave way for the career for which I will be most passionate. On a more personal note, the lessons I have learned and the bonds I have made from those I have become friends with during my time in Australia are the most important things I can take away from this experience! I would go back in a heartbeat!”

"I believe that my experience abroad will provide me with a competitive edge because I took the chance to go to another country to do an unpaid internship. That shows I have the initiative to adapt with the ever changing global employment market."

Overall, I found the program very rewarding. It gave me a unique opportunity to experience another culture from both a social and professional standpoint. Working in the city was a great opportunity for me as well as living in Sydney. I was able to see some great parts of Australia and meet many great people. The program takes you out of your comfort zone and allows you to develop skills that will benefit you in future endeavors when you return home. I would recommend going abroad to any student currently considering the option.
