Interning abroad is a unique opportunity for a young professional to go above and beyond in service of their academic and professional development. Unlike an internship at home, interning abroad adds layers of complexity to the experience -- finding housing, making friends abroad, adjusting to a new culture -- on top of what is often the first 'real' professional experience you have.
Intern abroad programs help interns manage the stresses of moving internationally for a typically short-term job -- while still allowing you the chance to expand your worldview and learn important personal and professional lessons first-hand.
We looked at all of the reviews we received this year on internship abroad programs, including the scores we ask reviewers to give on the following categories: Growth, Support, Fun, Housing, and Safety.
