Intensive but Fun! Past Review
By A student (Tufts University) - abroad from 07/08/2019 to 08/16/2019 with
iXperience Lisbon – Summer Courses and Internships in Full Stack Coding, or Management Consulting
I learned a lot about how different other countries could be, as I hadn't traveled much before this. I also learned a lot of major-related skills that will help me in the future when looking for another internship or a full-time job.
