An Experience of a Lifetime

Overall, this program provides an unforgettable experience that will help you grow personally, academically, and professionally. I thought that they did a great job finding an internship that fit my needs and helped me decide what kind of industry I'd like to go into. It also allowed me to explore, not only the UK, but also many other countries in Europe! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone that is thinking about getting an internship abroad.

What would you improve about this program?
Although I enjoyed my intership and thought it was a good fit, I would have liked to have some other choices just in case there was another internship that was more interesting to me instead of them choosing one internship that they think best fits me. Housing could have also been improved however I can understand, finding a good place in Central London might be hard and expensive.

I had an amazing summer!

I would strongly recommend the Global Experiences London internship program to anyone that is interested. London is a really fun city to live in and there are lots of great internship programs. The location staff were phenomenal and were always there to support me and help me to have the best experience abroad possible. The social activities (such as taking a day trip to Brighton or visiting Stonehenge and Bath) were always a great time and I would recommend all of them. The internship was exactly what I was looking for and it was perfect for me. I cannot recommend this program highly enough!

Staff

Before coming to London this summer I was constantly in contact with my program coordinator who was always beyond helpful and so easy and nice to talk to. When I finally got to London I was nervous about making the transition and being comfortable in my new home. But, the first moment I met with Global Experience I was greeted with a hug and the most welcoming staff. Throughout the entire summer the entire staff was not only positive but also extremely accommodating. My London location coordinator is one of the warmest and kindest people I have ever met and it was nice to know that regardless of what happened she was the one who would be there to help me. There was never a moment throughout my process with Global Experiences did I feel not welcomed or cared about. Global Experiences staff is truly amazing.

GE London 2018 Finance Intern

What an experience!! I was a bit reluctant when I signed up for the London program, but Global Experience made it so easier and simple for me to navigate all the steps. I have gained so much experience as a finance/research analyst intern this summer, which will undoubtedly help me with my future career in Finance and other fields. Most importantly, I had a really fun time in London and I wish I can do it all over again! I've made really good friends in this program that I could rely on and travel with since I am a travel addict. All of this would have not been possible without all the GE coordinators that were here to guide us through the whole journey. 10/10 would recommend this program.

What would you improve about this program?
A little more champagne at the Shard event would be nice:)

Internship, Social Events, Experience in London

Going into this experience, I knew nobody in the program and was nervous when I arrived. Even when it was time to start my internship, I was very anxious. However, Global experiences and my program advisor Carmen Chamorro really helped in the whole process of getting acclimated to this new environment. They provided great support when it came to my living situation, and my internship as well if any problems arose. They provided me with an internship that I was genuinely interested in, and that helped me grow as a professional. As well as providing a number of social and networking events to socialize and grow me as an individual. If I were to do this experience again, I would absolutely choose Global Experiences again!

What would you improve about this program?
Not sure, this program really changed me for the better as a professional and individual.

A memorable experience!

Global Experiences did a fantastic job in placing me at my internship. It was well within my interest and skills. The strengths finder was accurate too as my internship utilises most if not all my strengths. Other than just the internship, the overall stay in London was extremely eventful. There was never a dull moment. 2 months may seem long in the start for some people but it goes by so quickly when you're being constantly engaged with activities and trips organised by the program. The program coordinators are always at the ready to assist you but they also treat you like an adult and give you all the freedom that you need. It was an amazing experience and I would 10/10 recommend it.

What would you improve about this program?
I understand that the fee cannot be massively reduced, but a more clear breakdown of the funds that go in to each activity or aspect of the program would be better. Also an option to opt in or out of different activities - that way people can have more flexibility on how much they spend on this program.

One wild summer!

I came to London as part of my senior year to experience what coaching is like in the UK, it was certainly not what I expected. I feel that the placement process got my placement spot on, although it wasn't 100% what I expected/wanted I did learn quite a bit from the company I worked with. There is plenty to explore in London, from all the different markets, museums, attractions and more. My favorite places that I visited were Borough Market and Southbank, in addition to taking a hike up the O2 Arena or going down the ArcelorMittal Orbit over at the Olympic Park! If you want to travel there is plenty of opportunities to do so, many other people took trips to Europe, however, my big plan this summer was to go watch the World Cup in St. Petersburg, Russia which was a truly once in a lifetime experience. I am truly grateful to the staff for helping out and lending advice when I found myself in need, and thankful for GE and the opportunity to live and work in such a unique place.

What would you improve about this program?
I wish that we had more time to explore Bath.

London 2018

This program is amazing. For anyone looking to do work abroad Global Experience is the place to do it. The staff make you feel so comfortable and safe. I've loved every moment of this experience and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. My favorite memory would be the trip to Brighton beach that Global experience set up. They also paired me with a great company that I have learned so much from and has prepared me for future jobs. I have made some great memories and close friends. I have had the time of my life and it wouldn't have been possible without Global Experiences.

What would you improve about this program?
I think just preparing us for how much we would have to spend on travel.
