Review

Interning in China in winter is one of the best times I will ever recommend. I am able to enjoy that attention that I wanted and flexible schedules. I have noticed that summer had its own issues due to the large number of participants.
I was in Shanghai for winter/spring internships and I must confess I loved the atmosphere, the people, the program, the exposure and of all CIP.
My first time in Asia and for that matter China although for internship, was just an opportunity to know another part of the world, understand their culture and get familiar with what they care about. I combined Internship and language classes as well just as many participants and then pushed for more class hours which were easily granted.
I joined CIP’s program with 3 other friends one From Kent university and two of us are currently studying in University of California in Denver. It was awesome how all 3 of us were housed and we could spend and share childhood memories and build our bond. We usually make out to the streets in Shanghai to meet people in open bars and roof tops for relaxation purposes.
The program was helpful given its flexibility and caliber of staff. I will also say their networking program is much fun especially during the Swiss Chamber Event. I met a lot of dignitaries from various organizations I don’t know how helpful they will be to me in the future but I am sure to use the best practices taught us to get in touch and probably try selecting some as life mentors.
But CIP must include meal plans in their program even if for extra fees because arriving on Shanghai for the first time, food selection was tough option for me. For the first 4 days that I arrived, they guided my meal plan but after that, it was hard for me especially at the company cafeteria.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
