Review on the CAPA London: Intern Abroad experience

Interning and working abroad in London was a very transformative experience. I really appreciate the independence that CAPA gave us and the support they gave us throughout the program. They really worked hard in placing me at an internship that fit my needs. I wanted to do social justice, legal, or political oriented work, so they got me an internship at a small judicial nonprofit organization, which was a very fulfilling experience. I was learning about judicial issues around the world, which was different than any other work experience I have ever had. I developed stronger professional skills and learned how to be more self sufficient, figuring out how to budget, get around the city, and balancing my work and class schedules with free time, all while navigating London. The classes emphasized London's socio-historical context, which I found very interesting as a Sociology major. I loved exploring the different neighborhoods of London (Soho, Brick Lane, and Notting Hill were my favorites) throughout my seven weeks and would highly recommend any student to do the same!
