Summer Internships in Europe

I enjoyed my time studying abroad with Forum-Nexus as we got to stay in 4-star hotels which was new for me while I got to learn about the hospitality industry internationally. I am a hospitality major and was accepted as an hospitality intern. From this experience I learned valuable information and obtained skills needed in the hospitality industry. The staff and professors were always there to guide me and help me when I was sick or when I needed help on an assignment. They helped us feel at home when we would start to miss our families. We had an abundance of opportunities to grow professionally, internationally, or personally.

My name is Garrett Michaud. In 2022 I attended the Forum-Nexus Italy Trip. This trip was definitely a peak in my life. Profesor Laura was incredible and very supportive. Hugo, Nadine and Hobbes also did an amazing job with planning and directing this trip. They are the nicest people you will ever meet. I did not know anyone going into the trip; however, I met friends from across the country that I still keep in touch with and plan trips to see each other once a year. I lived the program so much that I had to go back. So I returned in 2024 and it was just as perfect as the first time. We went to four different countries! This time I was the Management and Operations Intern. Hobbes and Nadine were very supportive and flexible with my schedule. Overall this program is a 12 out of 10, and I believe everyone should be able to experience a Forum-Nexus trip once in their life!

Forum-Nexus has been one of the best experiences in my life. I took one regular class and Ed is a great professor and he cared about everyone in class. I also took a marketing internship and I loved everyone I worked with. Through the internship I got to speak with marketing personnel across all different cities as well as handle the company's social media accounts during the program. I also helped with marketing research.
I enjoyed all the cities of the program. This was a great opportunity to experience all of Europe!

This program is really one of a kind! I went to Europe not knowing anyone and never having been to Europe before but quickly made friends that turned into my family. From the moment you step off the plane adventure awaits. We spent all summer exploring the cities we were in and learning about the local culture. I got to visit world famous museums and see iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower. Every detail of the program was amazing from the hotels to transportation. They made sure that any question or problem you had they were there to help you. Classes we all really interesting, and Professor Hugo always made sure you had a good time. One of my favorite parts was paragliding the the French Alps with all my friends, it was truly unforgettable. This program is life changing and recommended it to anyone!

At first I was nervous for signing up/applying for a study abroad program since I had never traveled on my own before. However, after finding Forum Nexus Study Abroad and meeting the team, I was more at ease and excited to be apart of it. I had the chance to travel and take courses - gaining cultural insight as well as college credit. I also made close friends from this experience. With your new friends - you can travel from country to country and city to city visiting local sites and attractions, such as La Louvre and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and the views of Mont Blanc in France. This program is well managed and safe for all types of travelers/students. It is also well balanced between course work and traveling. Best summer starts here with Forum-Nexus!

I was an intern for Forum-Nexus Study Abroad, and initially, I wasn't sure what to expect. I have heard of other people's experiences from studying abroad and all of them were positive, but I wasn't sure how I would handle being that far away from home. After spending a month in Europe with this program, I consider everyone involved part of my family. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I have Forum-Nexus to thank for that. This program is one of a kind. Forum-Nexus' uniqueness is what makes it incomparable to other study abroad experiences. I highly recommend anyone who is considering studying abroad to apply to FN. You will not regret it!
