"- Advanced skills - Dealing with clients - How to work with co-workers - Responsibility Worth every moment! "
Ray L Northeastern University
"I learned that I am so small in this world. It gave me perspective on how many different people/languages/cultures can exist even within one country. The world doesn't revolve round America, there is a lot Americans can learn from other countries' ways of life. "
Lensa B University of Southern California
"Before I even knew which college I wanted to attend, I had already made up my mind about one important aspect of my collegiate career: I wanted to study abroad. I had been blessed with many international trips prior to my summer in Barcelona, but there is truly a difference between visiting a city and living in a city, intensive..."
Dan C Michigan State University
"I have always dreamed of coming to Spain. It was a pipe-dream, really, as I never thought I would actually be able to go. So, when I found out that my school was financing an internship in Barcelona through the Connect-123 program, I was dually dumbfounded and ecstatic! I was so excited, but it didn't feel real. Honestly, it did..."
A student Rhodes College
"Fifty years from now, when you are (hopefully) peacefully retired in the place of your dreams, reflecting on your past experiences, your education, your work, your family, the friends you have made and the friends you have lost, the places you have visited and the places you will never see, what do you think will come to mind? ..."
Mark L Rhodes College

The people I have m..."

Tara O Northeastern University
"I learned that material things do not manner as much as new experiences and the people who you are with. The whole experience was definitely worthwhile and I wouldn't have changed it for anything. "
Brooke F Bentley University
"I worked with kids everyday who were out of mainstream schooling. Most were homeless or in shelters. 92% of the school had been raped or sexually abused in their life And nearly all were on or being treated for their addiction to crystal meth, or Tic they call it. The ages of the kids were just 10-14 years old. I was able to int..."
Kylie W University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse
"I learned that I need to be more extroverted in an office setting, not to let my personal emotions interfere with my work (I was pickpocketed), and the best way to meet locals is to do a local activity, It was definitely worth it, I grew so much on this trip!"
Karlayne P Northeastern University
"I gained confidence and it helped me "dip my toes" into the world. With Ireland being an English speaking country, it made my first international experience much more comfortable. It was definitely worthwhile! I cannot wait to intern somewhere else in the world!"
