I spent a month and a half in London, working at the 2012 London Olympic Games. An incredible opportunity I would have never got without IL. Got to meet students from all over world, in a great atmosphere. The IL staff are all amazing people, really caring about making us spend a wonderful time. And I was among the first interns, so it can only get better !
What would you improve about this program?
Choosing the host family can be a bit risky, they are not all as nice and relax... and not always close to the center of London, which raise a lot the price of transports...
If the internship is paid, the way of being paid (by cash, cheques, or directly on a foreign bank account) should be well defined before the begining of the experience, to make sure there are not too much fees and problems of transfer.
