GBMy internship abroad was an incredible… My internship abroad was an incredible experience. I learned a lot and my Spanish improved even further because I was able to use it every day with my host family when you are out and about, and with my coworkers. The staff was organized and responsive. However, I would recommend that the Spanish courses should be based on the level of Spanish because I found it not interesting because I had to learn the greetings and grammar. I did find the Chilean Spanish, food, and culture part of the course informative and fun! Thank you

CLWonderful immersive internship abroad Interning abroad with Adelante was the experience of a lifetime. I interned as a mechanical engineering student at a creative coworking lab called Makerspace where I got to collaborate on innovative projects using 3D printers, laser cutters, and other cool tools with my coworkers in the lab. I also had the wonderful experience of leading a workshop in Spanish on 3D design in SolidWorks. My coworkers were extremely welcoming and made a strong effort to help me navigate Chilean culture and traveling as well as spending time with me outside of work! COVID definitely had a negative impact on the experience, as it made travel difficult and made half of my time at the internship virtual. Also, there were very few participants in the program, so it was a struggle to find friends to do things with. Nonetheless, the experience was overall very rewarding, and I highly recommend this program.

GBThe real Uruguay experience This was a unique experience as it was structured different than many other study abroad programs. There were not pre-planned cultural activities, which I personally liked because I was able to see what I wanted to see on my own terms. My internship placement at a law firm was absolutely perfect. The staff in Uruguay was great too. However, housing was falsely advertised so be aware that it is a 3-bedroom house with one room being the Spanish teacher's, and not 5-8 American students as advertised.

GBHad the best time! I did a legal internship in Oaxaca for three months with Adelante and it exceeded my expectations. I met the best people and lived in a great location with a kind host family and the best internship placement. My spanish has definitely improved thanks to the spanish lessons at the beginning as well as all the other people I met including those at my internship who were very patient and taught me a lot of legal and complex terms. If you are independent and enjoy exploring the city and having great opportunities for cultural immersion and meeting new people this is definitely a great program and excellent value for money. It really helped with my university application and I will definitely be returning to Oaxaca!

GBI had an amazing time here I had an amazing time here. I learned a lot and had so much fun traveling around here. I had never ridden english before so this was all new. They were very patient with us. I came in with some equine A&P knowledge but I definitely was able to broaden that knowledge. The equine fitness was all new to me. I learned a lot about making a fitness plan to get a horse ready for different types of competitions. I really enjoyed traveling around Scotland. I did a lot on my own but also had some prearranged trips with the program that i really enjoyed as well.
