Internship in Seoul

The price tag is scary, but the experience was definitely worth it. Overall, it's been a really great experience and I enjoy the company I'm interning at. BA has events twice a week, which helps you get to know the city, have meaningful experiences and grow professionally, and keeps you in contact with the other interns, which I find really beneficial. I will say, there was some radio silence between when I got my internship placement and the weeks before departure which made me a bit anxious, but everything worked out. My parents were worried about this being a scam as well since they hadn't heard of BA at all, but the Seoul coordinator Alize and the global coordinator Anne Marie set up a zoom call with them to answer any questions that they had (thank you both so much for that again). The one downside I've had was with housing, as I had some issues that BA couldn't do anything about (the housing put me in a temporary room the first night because my actual room wasn't ready, and then tried to move me again for a maintenance issue they decided they could fix after I move out all within the first 4 days I was there) that was really stressful and the location of the housing from work is pretty far (about a 50 minute subway ride). But overall, really great experience and I feel like I've grown a lot as a professional in my preferred field!
