My name is Lauren and I am from Arkansas, U.S. I am studying at the University of Arkansas and I chose to do this internship to gain more experience. It was really cool in the hospital to see the progress of the patients from the day one to week three. The program was super organized and they were there for everything we could need. And then Athens, it’s beautiful. Hundreds of places to visit and great food.
