Program Reviews

Overall I had a fantastic experience whilst partaking in this internship. Most obviously is the fact that I learnt so much within my field of interest, media post-production, and would say that in that respect the internship was invaluable. The city of Wellington provided a fun, friendly and exciting backdrop to my placement and I was never bored or unhappy living in such a great place. The accommodation was very nice and fantastically located, though I would have to say I was not very happy with the fact that it was expected of the interns to share bedrooms, with there even being a be in the kitchen area for when there was a large influx of interns. One would assume that the high cost of the internship would allow for individual bedrooms at least. But other than that I had absolutely no complaints about the experience and would happily recommend it to others.

Taking an internship in Florence Italy is definitely a wonderful opportunity ! It is so beautiful here, and learning the language is definitely easier when you are surrounded by people who speak it all the time. Florence is a safe fun place with many options on things to do. If you decide to take an internship in Florence you will be satisfied.

The most important thing to me was the communication. My emails and phone calls were always answered the day of or the following day. This enabled me to get all my questions answered and I felt completely prepared when I left for the airport. The only thing I would have liked to see a change was the housing. I appreciated that I was with other students, but our rent was higher than some other american students we met. Other than that everything was great. They kept up on how I was doing before, during, and after my internship. World Internships also provided airport pick up which was very helpful when going to a new country. Some of my roommates went through a different organization and they were not offered the same benefit. It was an overall great and positive experience.
