Adelante's Response to rkiefer:
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for the good grade. To the only negative thing you mentioned regarding your two month Adelante Abroad International Internship Program, I just wish we were advised that you did not like your housing, as we certainly could have moved you! We use that housing regularly and do not get complaints ( including from your two roommates who lived on there for six months since they were doing longer term programs.) We understand that each person has different expectations and again, would have had no problem moving you into different housing. And yes, our staff and Directors in Chile are amazing: we always, always work with locals in our same education abroad industry for just this reason.
Prospective candidates are always welcome to contact them directly! We have weekly strategy meetings and Skype calls, so any question they might not be able to answer, they simply forward you on to us and vice versa - a very good, long-term business relationship that benefits our international internship candidates directly and hugely. Good luck in future endeavors, and keep travelling!

About Adelante
What were you doing in 1999? That is when Adelante Abroad sent its first candidate to Madrid, Spain, to do an International Internship Program there. She participated in a 6 month program, in a graphic design internship with a mid-sized company and lived, at first, on her own in a great little downtown apartment. By the following month we sent over two more candidates and have never looked back.
Internship, Semester & Summer Study, Teach and Volunteer Abroad programs define our menu of offerings and expertise now. Yes, you have your own room in a central, shared apartment, but meals are typically not included because we want you to grocery shop in your new country. Yes, we have staff on site full time but do they call you every day to check in? Nope. They are there if you need them but are trained to give you space to bump into things, make mistakes and finally find, on your own, how you fit in to your new country & home.

The only negative aspect of the program was that the housing was not as it was advertised. Also, Adelante never contacted me about anything except to ask that I participate more in their online community. In my opinion, Adelante was completely unnecessary, but the staff and people at the International Center are amazing. As a note for the next question: I would recommend that they contact the International Center directly and not waste their time/money with Adelante.
