Program Reviews

I went in not knowing anyone but in leaving I left with so many friendships that I know will last a lifetime. The location coordinator was so helpful in everything. Gregg took us to some of his favorite places and it was really cool to feel like you were apart of the city and not only visiting. Thrifting with Gregg and my friends was a highlight of the events GE hosted because I was able to not only see history but touch it and bring it back with me. I’m so thankful for my time in London and I will never forget it.

It was such a cool experience visiting Europe for the summer. Gregg and Shani were super helpful and supportive. This was my first time traveling abroad by myself so I appreciated their help and commitment to making sure we were comfortable. The program was structured to encourage relationship building with other students, and I made a lot of potential life long friends on this trip. I enjoyed my internship, and look forward to seeing what opportunities will come from this. 10/10 highly recommend!

Through Global Experiences, I gained a fulfilling internship experience with an international nonprofit. After a one-on-one call with a staff member from Global Experiences as well as detailed research by the Global Experience Team, I was matched with an organization that I was excited to work with and fit my interests. Live video check-ins with other interns and a Virtual Program Manager allowed me to make connections with other interns in the program and help me plan for my future career. At the end of my internship, I appreciated the opportunity Global Experiences offered me to reflect on my internship.

I underestimated the amount of learning and fun I was going to have when I arrived in the UK. If I am being completely honest, I didn’t think I would get a placement at all. However, global experiences worked tirelessly to provide me a placement that I would love allowing me to build my resume and expand on my work with children. Gregg and Shani have been there every step of the way and answered my questions and texts promptly. Gregg’s outings to hidden London allowed me to feel like a true Londoner

This was an amazing experience and opportunity to grow professionally and personally. Shani and Gregg were absolutely amazing in coordination this program as well as providing support during the program. Gregg offered many unique weekend adventures that provide an opportunity to do more than just work or study. Shani was so helpful in making sure all the legal and visa related things were taken care of. This alleviated a lot of stress for me personally and I could not be more grateful. I have minimal complaints and would certainly recommend this program to others.

I have enjoyed this internship experience since the first meeting. I will say that the first few stages of cooperating with a representative from my own university was a rocky start but once I was placed with a company, and attended my first GE meeting, I felt welcomed and supported. Everyone that has led a meeting through GE was kind and considerate. They did their best at engaging everyone regardless of who may be shy or outgoing. I found all the students that were doing GE at the same time as me, were driven and respectful.

Milan The staff was incredible. The on site coordinators, Amanda and Antonella, we’re amazing. They did anything and everything in their power to make our experiences better. They were always responsive and genuinely cared about each and every one of us in the program. I will say the housing in Milan is a little tough because they’re just isn’t a lot available but they did everything they could to make us as comfortable as possible and get us the best accommodations. Amanda and Antonella were awesome but I think a third person to help out would be even better. There were a lot of students to handle and it was a huge on for just two people.

My time in Milan was amazing. Global experiences is a bit disorganized, some students were sent home because they were not placed in internships, so that was really sad. Fortunately i did get placed, i had a great time at my job. Despite the drawbacks of global experiences as a whole, my program site coordinators were great. Antonella and Amanda were always helpful, kind, and planned events that allowed us to see and experience the staples in italy. They were awesome and really great resources when in Milan

Through the Global Experience program, I was given the opportunity of working with a Costa Rican company as their social media marketer. I had a rewarding experience applying my Spanish fluency and building my marketing experience. I was able to recognize and aim my strengths to best benefit my experience. Through our bi-weekly meetings, I was able to network with other interns and build my global connections. I was able to meet my personal and professional goals through this experience. I am very pleased with my multi-cultural experience!

This was a great program. I was able to work in a fashion showroom with friendly and welcoming coworkers, and I was able to immersed in Italian culture. My program coordinators Amanda and Antonella did a great job at supporting us and giving us guidance the entire time, and I appreciated all the events they had planned for us to mingle as a community. This was my first time abroad and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! I was able to travel outside of the host city often and it fit perfectly with my work schedule
