Once-in-a-lifetime Chance...Don't miss it!

Here is my story at istituto Europeo: I was looking for an Internship opportunity in some European country when an old friend of mine passed the wind of Istituto Europeo to me. I've got several options in Germany, Italy and France. As I was short of time and I had to get the ball rolling.
You know what I did? I made a list of advantages and disadvantages of all the institutions I could pass my Internship at, I contacted the coordinators, had an interview with them and only the coordinator at Istituto Europeo responded to all of my questions patiently, showed his own willingness and support for me to pass an Internship with them.
But still I've got cold feet before arriving to Florence as I had no idea of what was gonna happen next.
But as soon as I entered the university all the worries and fear disappeared since the management staff was already waiting for me with the necessary documents ready.
Frankly speaking I had the best couple of months in my life in Florence. Italy is a wonderland.
Istituto Europeo gives you great opportunities to practice, share your own experience and get more and more skills and knowledge that you will definitely to use the rest of your life.
In other words, take your chance, you are not gonna regret it!!!

Muy agradable y productivo

Translated by Go Overseas:

My experience in the European Institute has been really good. They have always commissioned me to work within my field (which is advertising) and they have given me a lot of freedom to develop my creativity and contribute ideas, which in this type of work is very positive.
The treatment I have had with colleagues has been magnificent, it is a very pleasant place to work and there is a very good atmosphere. The place where it is is great, because it is in the center of Florence, and this has allowed me to see some of the most beautiful places in the city every day. On the other hand, in addition to work, at school they have worried me that I know the Florentine culture, they have taught me typically Tuscan places and customs and they have facilitated my stay in Florence informing me of how to move around the city, what places to see .. .
In summary, I would say that they have been very pleasant practices, that have allowed me to learn and develop my work as a publicist and that have helped me to immerse myself in the Florentine culture and make my stay easier. I am very happy with the experience.

Original Review:

Mi experiencia en el Istituto Europeo ha sido verdaderamente buena. Me han encargado trabajos siempre dentro de mi ámbito (que es la publicidad) y me han dado mucha libertad para desarrollar mi creatividad y aportar ideas, lo cual en este tipo de trabajo es muy positivo.
El trato que he tenido con los compañeros ha sido magnífico, es un lugar muy agradable para trabajar y hay muy buen ambiente. El sitio en el que está es estupendo, porque está en pleno centro de Florencia, y esto me ha permitido ver cada día algunos de los lugares más bonitos de la ciudad. Por otro lado, además del trabajo, en la escuela se han preocupado de que conozca la cultura florentina, me han enseñado lugares y costumbres típicamente toscanos y me han facilitado mi estancia en Florencia informándome de cómo moverme por la ciudad, qué sitios ver...
En resumen, diría que han sido unas prácticas muy agradables, que me han permitido aprender y desarrollar mi trabajo como publicista y que me han ayudado a sumergirme en la cultura florentina y a hacer mi estancia más fácil. Estoy muy contenta con la experiencia.

It was a great opportunity

I studied in Siena (1 hr distance by car from Firenze, approximately), at the Università per Stranieri. Siena its a nice, small place with cute cafes and social spots. Just the best, for me! My internship was a great opportunity for me. I developed my Italian language well and met some great people. The workplace was exactly what I needed. My colleagues were very supportive. I learnt a lot also: among many other things, I learnt about multiple different areas of crime and criminality, and all round I am pleased with my experience.
