iXperience Summer Abroad Review

Attending iXperience this past summer was the best decision I have made for the development of both my professional skills and personal skills. Not only was I granted the opportunity to spend 6 weeks in Cape Town, South Africa and immerse myself in a completely different culture, but at the same time I was gaining real world professional experience.

The value of taking classes and having an internship in a career of your interest is so substantial. I was registered in the management consulting course and my head teacher was a veteran in the industry. Learning from the best definitely helped me navigate the ins and outs of consulting which made my experience that much better. On top of that, the teachers are very involved and are willing to help with whatever you need relating to class or even advice about the industry. My head teacher even would show us around Cape Town and take us on secret hikes which I never would have expected before taking part in the program.

On top of the massive value gained from the classes and internship, being able to immerse yourself in a completely different culture is something spectacular. Especially after COVID halted travel, being able to partake in a program such as iXperience was very special. iXperience granted me the opportunity to go skydiving, surfing, and even a safari. I would also like to shoutout the staff at iXperience for making the program so much better. I would have never chosen to hike 14 miles in one day if it weren’t for them and the amazing people I met on the program.
