Please Save Your Money

I cannot help to think that I was lied to and cheated during my time with The Intern Group. The Intern Group seemingly appeared to be the outlet for myself to get the perfect overall experience abroad. It seemed as though I would be set during my time in London but it was all a facade to take students money and throw them into a foreign country all alone. We were left to survive in a very bad area being verbally harassed multiple times at all hours of the day. This made everyday activities such as going to work and grocery shopping very difficult.

One of the major reasons I decided to go with The Intern Group was the "active community of interns" which would "stay together in premier accommodation". I easily could have found housing and an internship on my own but I wanted the community of interns which I had been told numbers times that we would be living together. I, along with a handful of other interns, were isolated in a threatening area while other interns were placed in a slightly better accommodation as they promised multiple times on their website.

This left me to question where my money went. After asking how much it cost to live in Julian Markham housing in Elephant and Castle, I learned that it is just a fraction of the cost of what I paid The Intern Group. The disparity between the amounts of money that I paid for living accommodations compared to the other intern's accommodation was insurmountable.

I am grateful I thoroughly enjoyed my place of work or else I would have to call legal action against the scam of what is The Intern Group. Although this is what they may call an "experience", it is just a lie to cheat young students of their money. I strongly suggest you save your money and use it towards a legitimate organization such as Dream Careers or just travel on your own.
