Review of Cape Town Internship

Sep 17, 2017

There exist few inadequacies regarding the Cape Town Internship with Student Athletes Abroad. The staff made the trip an exciting experience, from organizing partnerships with the several Non-governmental Organizations us interns worked alongside to the weekend excursions around Cape Town (e.g. Table Mountain, Robben Island, Wilderness, etc.). Staff members did an excellent job of briefing interns on South African culture and treated us with respect. If there did exist any problems, staff handled them in an adult manner. If a collegiate athlete is looking to travel internationally and experience a unique culture, I would recommend that he or she apply for a Student Athletes Abroad internship.
