Program Reviews

This experience was definitely one of a kind! I was given great experience for my specific major(s) and felt very at home! Our program supervisors, Amanda and Antonella we’re very helpful, kind and did so much to make us feel comfortable and safe. It was quite confusing in the beginning because we only received a couple of emails right before our departure and many internships were not confirmed until we arrived. I would still highly recommend coming in this program if you are interested in fashion marketing!

This was an amazing experience. I am so grateful I found such an amazing program that supported me every step of the way. I was able to explore the other side of the world, and develop professionally. I met other interns in so many different fields as well. The program coordinator, Andrea, was amazing! She made sure everything went smoothly from the second I landed in Australia. I have made so many amazing memories and learned so much from this experience! The scariest part about going overseas is figuring out how to do it. This program helped me every step of the way.

The time that I had with Global Experiences was amazing! I had the opportunity to intern with a non-profit organization in Barbados where I was able to learn new skills, as well as improve the skills that I already had. Skills like updating website content, project management, website content creation, and many more.
Throughout this process, I was supported by Global Experiences with their daily check-ins and workshops. Global Experiences made me feel supported, and that I had someone who wanted me to succeed and feel comfortable with my time as an intern. It was such a phenomenal experience, I gained such confidence through this experience and I have Global Experiences to thank!

Working and living in Sydney was an incredible experience this summer. My local coordinator, Andrea, worked super hard to make sure we had a great place to live and she also set up a bunch of different excursions for our group. I wasn't sure what to expect on my trip, but I found a lot of comfort in both familiar foods and activities as well as new experiences. The transportation options were incredible and the city was easy to get around. I loved my time in the city and I'm looking forward to coming back to Australia whenever I can.

I was matched with a marketing firm for local and touring theatre companies and I fell in love with the welcoming atmosphere everyone in the office shared with me, and I have my local coordinator for finding me that perfect match. I got to work with big Spanish stars, help at premieres, edit a regional magazine, and manage website and social media posts. I grew so much in areas I didn’t even know I had the potential to learn, and gained so much experience that I know I will use in any job I apply for. My internship was amazing, and the social outings were fun!
It is not too easy living with strangers, but having a room to ourselves helped to keep some boundaries needed, and further enjoy the times we did spend together for program sanctioned events and for anything we planned on our own. I loved being able to visit other places and cities during the weekends when I didn’t work. I have learned from different cultures, and appreciate traveling so much more than I ever thought I could. I had a phenomenal experience and would highly recommend everyone to do an internship abroad.

I have learned so many valuable lessons and skills during my internship with Global Experiences. I think one of the most important things I have learned is independence. Moving across the world is an incredibly big commitment, so to be able to do that alone is a great achievement, however, I have also had the responsibility of caring for myself without the help of family or close friends nearby. Global Experiences provided all of the resources necessary to succeed and excel in this environment, and wanted nothing but the best for us. They offered many interesting day trips and excursions for us to explore all that beautiful Australia has to offer, and really tried to make us feel at home. The program coordinator, Andrea, went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable, included, and welcome.
I have also found this internship to be very valuable in terms of communication and networking as you meet so many other interns through global experiences, as well as an abundance of professionals in your line of work with similar interests. This has provided me with friendships that will last a lifetime, and memories I will cherish forever!

This has been an incredible summer in Galway! I’m glad Global Experiences had an internship program where I could work abroad while getting credit for my university. My internship placement was really fun & I learned a lot throughout my entire time. The on-site program advisor was wonderful & super helpful! The city of Galway is a great spot if you’re looking for a smaller city vibe. It’s beautiful, quaint, & there’s lots to do here! The accommodations were great as we had our own bedroom & bathroom with a shared kitchen area. It was amazing meeting all of the other interns & we all became friends fast. It was an experience I’ll never forget! I’m glad I chose Galway!

I had no idea what to expect from this experience going in. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to go abroad and get experience that would help me in the future. Global Experiences was great helping me figure out my ideal location and ideal placement. I placed with a wonderful company. It was filled with the most kind and welcoming staff. I have never felt so comfortable and they took my thoughts and suggestions into consideration. Our point of contact here was absolutely wonderful. Any issue we had she was their to help. Anything we needed she was there to listen. Galway it's self is a charming city. It is full of history, great night life, and so many places to visit on the weekends. The eyre square is full of pubs, shops, and historical sights to see. A market happens every weekend which has so many artistic peices and food trucks. The locals are so nice to talk to and very proud of where they come from rightfully so! They will happily give you directions to the craic happening in town. They also have so many festivals it's hard not to find somthing happening in town! Lastly the accommodations are a quick bus ride into town. Even though you share a common area you have your own spacious room and bathroom. You share the common area with other GE interns. As for my experience I have made so many new friends. The other interns here are all so friendly, since we all are in the same boat we easily bonded over our interships and as time went on we become amazing friends. Overall if you are looking for a location that doesn't feel like a big city, has a big personality, and holds the most lovely people and experiences come to Galway!!!

Overall great experience. Australia was always on my bucket list and this was a great way to see Australia and gain work experience. It was great to meet other people from different Universities across the United States (and some Canadian). Sydney had everything for every interest. There was never a time where I was bored in Sydney. We took lots of day trips and some weekend trips to see different parts of Australia. If you have the chance to come, take it. It is an amazing culture to see! Also, the internship allows you to learn about the field you are interested in, but get a different perspective. You get to learn about the work life in Australia and network with many people!

I absolutely loved this program. The program adviser was amazing and it was a great experience. Sydney was an amazing place and always felt safe and had a Great support system there. Internship provided great experience and was great for resume building. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an internship abroad and interested in visiting/ traveling to sydney. There’s also plenty of time to travel around australia on the weekends. Also great way to meet people in sydney and other interns studying abroad.
