One of the best experiences I have ever had! Past Review
By Domenica Ulloa Rampani (University of Miami) - abroad from 05/05/2017 to 07/01/2017 with
The Intern Group: Madrid Internship Placement Program
This program is absolutely incredible!!! I had one of the most valuable learning experiences with the company I was placed with. The internship helped me obtain various skills and an immense amount of knowledge that will help me in the future. Living in Madrid has also allowed me to experince Spanish culture in a completely new way and it is truly an incredible location to live in. This program introduced me to some incredible people who have become some of the greatest friends I could ask for, and I would recommend this program to absolutely everyone and anyone looking for the opportunity to intern abroad!!!
