Amazing Internship Experience in Spain
by: Sicily Joseph - United StatesProgram: AIFS Abroad Internships in Barcelona, SpainI completed the internship program in Barcelona, Spain and it was easily one of the best times of my life. My internship coordinator, Inma, went above and beyond to place me in an amazing internship with a great company. The staff overall was very helpful and supportive, and they offered many opportunities for us to explore the culture and go on excursions. I don't have a bad thing to say. Why wait?

An international program while I was in college was always a priority for me, because I saw it as a way to broaden my horizons and challenge my perceptions while also allowing me to see some amazing parts of the world. I was also interested in a change of scenery and meeting new people from all over the country and the world.
