Here's What Fellow Elon Students Had to Say

If it wasn’t for Global Experiences, I would never have had the two of the most life-changing and fulfilling months of my life. This summer was my first time going abroad and I couldn’t have asked for a more charming city to live in or a better equipped team to help me prepare and transition into another culture. I was first interested in this program after learning about the guaranteed internship, and I was not disappointed as I was placed at an incredible office. My goal for this summer was to learn as much as I possibly could, and I can confidently say that I have learned more than I ever thought possible.

Global Experiences gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a brand new culture, live as an independent adult and commute in a city, and make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Through my administrative theatre internship in Dublin, Ireland, I learned more than I could have ever hoped and made connections that I will keep throughout my professional career. I had the time of my life! You should absolutely take the opportunity to intern abroad with the help of Global Experiences. You truly never know until you go, and I would absolutely recommend taking the plunge and going abroad. Your experience will absolutely change your life.
