Response from Adelante Abroad
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. Thank you too for confirming that your internship with Adelante Abroad in Madrid provided you with real value and actual, relevant international work experience. The housing rule is a hard rule for many to understand, however it is a firm one, and also clearly published. Industry wide it is the norm too, not just Adelante Abroad has this rule. The main reasons for it are these: 1) we used to allow our candidates to have friends spend the night. We figured they would speak to the other roommates and have an adult discussion and come to an arrangement. Invariably someone took advantage of this and had a family member or friend stay for days and even weeks. 2) There is a safety issue! We know and have screened the other roommates, or our Director has, but we don't know everyone's friends and family. During that same period when Adelante did allow candidates to have guests over, items went missing from peoples rooms. So, we joined the rest of the programs out there in adding the “no guests” rule about 6 years ago. Long story short, we hope you do understand the reasoning behind this rule!
