Review

Intern London provides support from the moment participants are accepted into the program! I was involved in the internship interview process, was informed about my living arrangements and the social events that were provided with the fees of the Summer Deluxe Program, and had one on one interactions with the professional staff throughout my entire time in London.

As soon as I arrived, I got a call from a staff member to ensure my arrival and airport pickup, then met with her as well as other interns later that day to get to know each other and get a welcome to the city.

I never had to worry about having something to do after work, because Intern London planned events and meet ups for all of the participants to do, which not only were great for socializing with the other interns, but were cultural experiences that really rounded out my trip. I had the option to attend any or all of the events which also allowed me to have a trip that was unique and full of the experiences I wanted.

Intern London does a fantastic job of providing a professional experience for its' participants through finding an internship, as well as allowing participants to have an incredibly unique and incredible experience through the extra events that interns can attend.

A tip I would give to participants who opt for the Bethnal Green shared flats: set aside a little extra in your budget for either kitchen supplies and/or utensils. My group that lived together were able to find utensils and small pots for cooking in the neighborhood for between 15-20 GBP, just to give an idea of how much to set aside.

That being said, I would recommend the Bethnal Green shared flats as the living option. Out of about 30 interns who were in London with the program while I was there, probably 25 lived in the Bethnal Green flats and we all were able to hang out and do things together; it really added to my experience to make friends in my building and have them to go to Intern London events with!

Would you recommend this program?
