Review
My internship abroad taught me so much more about myself than I ever imagined. I found how independent and bold I really am. The only thing I would alter is that I wish I opened up sooner. Because now that I know what I’m capable of I want to jump in head first and explore without holding back. I had the best summer of my life so far in Paris, France. And part of what made it so awesome was the challenges I face while here. I would encourage everyone to try something like this for yourself. Find something that’s going to push you to recognize parts of yourself you never knew. It’s totally worth it.
Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would

I wasn't super pleased with my placement. And I heard that from almost everyone in my internship group. I know you can't please everyone, but after talking to my fellow inters I felt like Xavier didn't put in 100% effort to pair us. What's frustrating is that it was obvious he didn't take the time to pair us. It's as if he found a few common key words and said "that'll do." After my few interactions with him I found him somewhat self centered and was more occupied at promoting himself and his company than seeing if we had a good experience.
