I really enjoyed my internship abroad through AIFS. I believe that it was a great experience and I got to meet so many amazing people. I recommend it to anyone who wants to dive into a new culture and also learn about what their passions may be! It may be scary to visit another country that you may or may not speak the language, but it opens your eyes to a lot of different things. It is also important to know that you are not alone and people will you meet along with people in the program will support you!

I had such a fun experience interning here in Madrid! There are so many things to do, and the people are very friendly. Madrid is also the capital of Spain, and as such there’s activities/ internship opportunities for all kinds of interests. It was also a great opportunity to work in a professional setting in another country, as well as practicing a secondary language ! In addition, our Global Experiences supervisor planned one event a week where we got to do different activities, and talk to other interns in the program as well.

I was able to grow a lot during this internship personally and career wise. I was able to meet some great people that supported me during this time here in Madrid. I was also was able to work with some great people that have taught me some great skills and allowed me to learn things about my career and showed me what I will be looking forward to in the future after I finish my degree. This allowed me to to become a better scholar and a better person overall from this experience and internship. Thank you

I spent two months here in Madrid, Spain living with 9 other individuals who all are doing internships just like myself. The AFIS program helped me so much throughout the entire process and allowed me to easily transition from my life back in the States to life in Madrid. AFIS provided me a great internship at HelpHousing and I learned so much from the people who were involved! Also as someone who’s Spanish is very subpar, I felt welcomed by everyone and they were very friendly and supportive to me learning their language!

I did the GE internship program in Madrid, Spain! The living situation was great, very central and close to a metro station. My roommates and I were matched well, I had a really helpful and personable program advisor, Lourdes who I could go to with questions and concerns. I was matched with a company I liked for my internship, and was given opportunities to get involved and learn from my supervisors The program had excursions and activities every week, and my work was flexible to my traveling plans on weekends. Great experience :)

Best internship I’ve ever had. I visited a lot of Spain it was great. The program did an overall great job planning fun activities for me to do, and places to visit. A great experience and would reccomend to all students who want to intern abroad, Madrid was a great city to live in. It Was a fun three months for me, a great experience. I learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about Spanish culture. Could be a life changing experience for some people. I got to travel all over Spain and I enjoyed that very much. The internship was my favorite, I have interned at multiple companies in the US and this internship in Madrid has been the best in office experience yet.

What an incredible summer in Barcelona! After interning with Eatwith and living with four amazing roommates, Global Experiences truly gave me the summer of my dreams in Spain. At Eatwith, I was surrounded by the kindest group of women that have inspired me to chase my goal of working in Europe in the future. I know I have lifelong contacts from my Eatwith support system. Inma and Elena did a phenomenal job providing guidance and aid to the entire intern group. The two also organized a variety of group activities spanning from day trips to Costa Brava and Girona, and a picnic at Ciutadella Park. I think my entire program can agree that Inma and Elena love their jobs and truly care about the success of their students abroad and back in the states. Thank you Global Experiences!

I loved interning through global experiences. I could not have had a better time. My roommates were incredible and without GE, I would have never met them or any of the other amazing people I did. This experience has taught me so much. I learned how to come out of my comfort zone and what it is like to live in a home away from home. I learned so much about work life, living abroad, and about myself as a person. I could not have asked for a better internship placement and if I could do this experience every summer I would! Highly recommend.
