The Intern Group

I interned in Madrid for one month and then finished my internship fir the second month remotely. It was literally so fun! It was my first time in Spain and even though it was fall It was thr perfect weather. The program did pretty much all of the work from finding my housing to organizing a ride from the airport so the trip was so smooth and laid out. They even organized trips for me to visit other parts of spain outside of Madrid. I got to spend thanksgiving in Europe and see some christmas lights which was absolutely beautiful. Even thoigh I was interning it literally felt like a well planned out vacation where I just had everything planned out for me! I loved it.

Interning in London was genuinely an amazing experience. The internship itself opened my eyes to the behind the scenes of marketing, I truly gained a real understanding of the role itself. As for the experience outside of the internship, I made close friends whom I was able to travel with and make life-long memories with. 10/10 would recommend

My time abroad was truly a great experience. I interned in Madrid which is a great city, I highly recommend interning here if you can. Furthermore, the people I met and worked with along the way were amazing and they made my time here extra special. The culture was awesome and I really enjoyed some of the events that the Intern Group puts on. They are a great way to meet a bunch of new people from many different walks of life and the events themselves are really fun. They also provide insider information about Madrid that will help to visit other places in the city that might not have been on your radar or on your list to visit had it not been for these events. The nightlife in the city is spectacular but if that’s not your thing there are so many different things to do in Madrid I honestly would find it hard to believe that somebody couldn’t love it. I only experienced two drawbacks during my time in Madrid that had to do with the Intern Group. Firstly, I along with others I know experienced gaps in communication in regards to move-in dates, problem solving, and other administrative stuff. Support staff often took very long to respond to general questions and urgent emails alike which made it very frustrating to try and problem solve if something were to come up. Furthermore, there were issues here and there with housing but overall the housing I was placed in was great. Again, I highly recommend studying abroad through an internship, whether it be in Madrid or elsewhere. I think an internship gives the unique experience of having a job instead of being in school and prepares you for a professional working environment in ways that nothing else could, especially not a semester of school.
