Great internship experience

I interned at London in fashion for 3 months.

It was a wonderful experience!

Initially I felt nervous, arriving at a new country where I knew nobody. But InternLondon made sure that I felt at home!

The program is really well structured, and allows you to meet many new people. Regular catch-ups ensures that you're always surrounded by people going through the same things as you. Paid events in the programme allow you gain the full London experience!

The accommodation was great, particularly because I lived close to my new friends.

Definitely an experience that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.

It Is What You Make It

I only have positive things to say about The Intern Group. The program lived up to what was described on the website. The support and administrative team are everything you could hope for. The program provides a great environment to develop personally and professionally. How much you get out of it depends on your attitude and the effort you put in.

The best thing is the network you have access to and the friends you will make. I advise others to set out what they want from their work experience and talk to their employers to ensure they have the best chance of achieving work related goals.

I think everyone finds the first week challenging and will put most out of their comfort zone but that is why you do it. If you have the right attitude and make the effort your experience on the program will exceed your expectations. In the end I wish I could have stayed longer.

10 week Intern London program

The experience i had in London through The Intern Group was one of the most valuable of my life. The process began slow for me, but once i was on the ground in London i quickly came to realize what a great opportunity i had just undertaken. The quality of the internship itself will vary. That is just the nature of it. I made friends with people who ranged from hating their internship to being indifferent about it to those like myself who loved it and found the job nothing but enjoyable. Given the unlikelihood that you do actually hate it, the staff in London are more than ready to help rectify the situation. The atmosphere with everyone in the program is very laid back, and in downtime on weekends or after work I found myself making lifelong friends with the great people I had the opportunity of living with. the Intern London staff are very welcoming, and Natalie did an impeccable job at organizing meetups and fun activities. Hands down I would do the program again. The internship I had was more than I could have hoped for in terms of work experience and setting myself up for my future after London. I've been back for almost two months and not a day has gone by that I don't miss the friends I made or the city I was privileged to call home for a while.

What would you improve about this program?
Though I had no problems at all, from talking with my friends and peers it seemed like better communication between the Intern London team and the housing company would have benefited those who had issues with their accommodation. Likewise I was aware of communication issues with the companies that some were interning with and the Intern London team. Streamlining of the communication would have made it easier for those having issues to have them resolved.

Fulfilling experience

I had a truly wonderful and life changing experience in London. I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at a Central London global advisory firm, and it gave me exposure to the field of foreign affairs in a way that I would not have had otherwise. What I appreciate most about the programme was the fact that interns are given the freedom to experience the city on their own terms, while also having scheduled events where they can interact with others. I made many close friends over the course of my stay in London, and looking back I can say with full confidence that taking part in the programme was one of the best decisions I made in both my personal and professional life.

What would you improve about this program?
Provide more information about the housing including pictures of the rooms.

Review-Intern London

Doing an internship with the Intern Group in London has given me a better sense of professional and personal achievement. It has been a very effective way to launch my career, and I've made friends who I know I'll have forever. The program staff have been extremely helpful, (even if I've asked a billion questions about visas,or the TV not working properly) and I'd say that doing this program has definitely broadened my mind. I've learned how to network with contacts, gained valuable experience in my field of choice, and lived in one of the best cities in the world.
The most important thing anyone would be worried about while going abroad is support and help, and Intern London have done an amazing job of providing that. In my opinion, you learn so much more about yourself when you're in a new environment, and this is a great opportunity to do that as well as find where your career interests lie. Thanks guys!

Super positive experience

I've spent 8 weeks in London doing an internship. It has been a very positive experience both regarding the job and the people I've met. I had the chance to learn a lot from my working experience and I also helped to organize three events with my managers.
I met a lot of new people coming from different parts of the world and I had a very good time.

Please Save Your Money

I cannot help to think that I was lied to and cheated during my time with The Intern Group. The Intern Group seemingly appeared to be the outlet for myself to get the perfect overall experience abroad. It seemed as though I would be set during my time in London but it was all a facade to take students money and throw them into a foreign country all alone. We were left to survive in a very bad area being verbally harassed multiple times at all hours of the day. This made everyday activities such as going to work and grocery shopping very difficult.

One of the major reasons I decided to go with The Intern Group was the "active community of interns" which would "stay together in premier accommodation". I easily could have found housing and an internship on my own but I wanted the community of interns which I had been told numbers times that we would be living together. I, along with a handful of other interns, were isolated in a threatening area while other interns were placed in a slightly better accommodation as they promised multiple times on their website.

This left me to question where my money went. After asking how much it cost to live in Julian Markham housing in Elephant and Castle, I learned that it is just a fraction of the cost of what I paid The Intern Group. The disparity between the amounts of money that I paid for living accommodations compared to the other intern's accommodation was insurmountable.

I am grateful I thoroughly enjoyed my place of work or else I would have to call legal action against the scam of what is The Intern Group. Although this is what they may call an "experience", it is just a lie to cheat young students of their money. I strongly suggest you save your money and use it towards a legitimate organization such as Dream Careers or just travel on your own.

Response from The Intern Group

Dear Sharleen,

We are saddened with your review. We understand that our programme is an investment in your future and the mission of our organization is to provide significant personal and professional development. The fact that you are disappointed, despite greatly enjoying your internship, is not nice to hear. We aim to provide a great experience and our feedback overwhelmingly suggests that we do.

As we explained to you in London, taking your points one by one:

"throw them into a foreign country all alone" -

You state that you were left isolated in a new country and received no help from us. We have checked all forms of communication with Ariana and Christina, our pre-arrival team, and we have verified that you were given all of your pre-arrival documents and your orientation pack in advance. This had all the relevant info that you needed on it and reading them would have given you everything you needed to know. When you arrived you were picked up at the airport by our driver, and you were met by our experience coordinator and given your induction on the same weekend. During your stay you attended all of the events bar one and you were invited to several meet ups and events by Ariana on Facebook (many of which you chose not to attend). The events you attended were tailored so that you could go with people who you had made friends with, rather than the ones you had originally been assigned to - clearly a big effort was made to accommodate your wishes. Everyone on our programme is an adult and often want independence, so we are not sure what you expected from us. Any time you wanted help or assistance, someone was on hand to speak with you - we have noted that our London Director spoke with you at 11pm on a weeknight for example.

- "We were left to survive in a very bad area being verbally harassed multiple times at all hours of the day. This made everyday activities such as going to work and grocery shopping very difficult."

You were living in zone 1 of central London, in the heart of our city. You were staying in the halls of residence of Kings College London, one of the UK´s best universities. We hardly consider this a very bad area. Elephant and Castle has received vast investment in the last ten years, is full of young professionals and has amazing transport links.

When you say that you "and a handful of other interns were isolated":

There were over 55 participants on our programme living in your accommodation residence at the time of your arrival - this is not a handful. We do not understand where this notion of you feeling isolated came from. We used 3 other Halls of Residence during June and July and there were similar levels of interns in each location (Your halls had the greatest number of people in fact). Your accommodation had a good community spirit and the feedback we have got from most interns living there was extremely positive.

Secondly, you have no idea about our accommodation costs. Using figures based around all-year round prices (a 50 week tenancy) to try and work out your own 6 week stay during peak season in summer is completely false and misleading. As well as the numerous other core components of your programme, staff costs/overheads, tax and service charges are all factored into your programme fee - if you think that it is all 'a facade to take students money' then you couldn't be more mistaken. We work tirelessly to make this programme work and we are proud of what we provide and the experiences that people have. These points were discussed in length with Lee Carlin, our Director in London, many months ago and it is disappointing that they are being expressed again.

As it was your first time in London, we understand that the city can be a bit of a shock in terms of size, how busy and dynamic it is etc. But when you talk about us being a scam over the accommodation issue, we find this insulting as it is simply not true. You yourself wrote that you "thoroughly enjoyed the place of work" that we facilitated. We have a genuine sympathy that you didn't enjoy your summer in London, but this review is extremely misleading. It would have been good to bring your issues up earlier in your stay so we could have looked to resolve them.

We hope you can take positives and learn from your experience in London and we wish you the best of luck with your future studies/career. Hopefully in time you may realize that you learned a great deal more than perhaps you think at this time.

Intern London Experience

I had an amazing time with the Intern Group. My internship as a photographer with the Resident was top notch, and provided me with extremely professional experience that is very applicable to my field. I was very satisfied with the amount of "real world" work I was doing around the office, out on jobs and etc.
Any difficulties I came across were more welcomed challenges than anything, such as tough commutes or long days. Everything I experience in London has helped me grow personally ans as a professional individual.
Never before has a summer changed my life in such a large way.

What would you improve about this program?
I would perhaps like better living accommodations. The stuffy rooms were unbearably hot, and not much of an amenity.
