A student Northeastern University
"What I walked away form this experience is figuring out what I want to do after I graduate and if a job in the government and political sector is something for me. Good news, it certainly is. I was able to get my feet wet with this internship and now I'm ready for the deep end. This internship was definitely worth it and I would..."
Jakob Leichtman Northeastern University
"Loved this experience! Going abroad is something that is on everyone's bucket list, so why not learn something while you're at it? Adelante does a fantastic job providing a great experience abroad along with a great internship. The Spanish class that came with my program was a surprise but definitely my favorite part. The intern..."

"My internship in Barcelona was an exciting experience to say the least. The city itself has a tremendous amount to offer and a huge number of international students so I was not often bored in my free time. My university had a study abroad program there too, so I was able to explore and hang out with some of my friends for four ..."

"I gained so much appreciation for other cultures and I definitely have the travel bug now. My time in Greece was so worthwhile- I grew as a person and as a professional and student. My only regret is not going longer and only studying abroad once."
Bobbie D Northeastern University
"Before leaving, I was nervous about being on my own. I'd never been more than two hours away from home for longer than a week, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to depend on myself when it was necessary.

The experience opened my eyes to how important cultural exchange is, as my interaction with Catalans in ..."

"I learned that I'm probably not meant to be a childcare provider. As much as I love children, I'm not meant to have a job that involves working with them all day. I think it was worthwhile to a certain extent, it's always good to explore different avenues, especially as this is my senior year and will be entering the work world ..."
Karlayne P Northeastern University
"Barcelona is the place to be-between its people, tapas, countless outdoor plazas, beautiful scenery, beaches and nightlife-there is something for everyone.

"I learned about myself personally and in a professional setting."
A student Northeastern University
"I gained a wider perspective of the world through living in Rome and traveling to other countries. I met so many local people in Rome that made my experience worthwhile. I also learned a lot about other cultures that I couldn't have experienced by just reading about it in a book."
Olivia D Northeastern University
"My language skills have vastly improved since arriving here. The abroad experience also helps to build confidence and a sense of independence. It is nice to know that you have mastered another language, culture, transportation system, and food. If you can succeed in a situation as off-putting as that, you can succeed anywhere."
A student Northeastern University
"I learned how to live in a huge city but still make it feel like home. I learned a lot about myself and my capabilities to adapt to new situations and environments. "
