My Festive Internship in NYC

My time in NYC was truly unforgettable. The Beyond Academy staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and more. The locals in New York were incredibly warm and welcoming, and I was able to savor some of the best pizza and sandwiches of my life.

Visiting the Statue of Liberty and taking a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge were among my favorite experiences. But I also had a blast on the less traditional excursions where we discovered hidden comedy gems and indulged in local culinary delights.

Nobody does Christmas like NYC. We went on trips to the Rockettes, and to icerinks and Christmas markets. I've never been abroad for Christmas, never mind alone but the activities were so fun, and the experience so great that it will be something I remember for the rest of my life.

Although I'm saddened to leave, I'm grateful for the memories I've created and am confident that if I ever have the opportunity to return, it will feel like coming home.

Seoul

My time in Seoul with Beyond has been one of the most memorable experience. I've got to meet amazing people and we are still keeping in touch.
There were lot of events organized by the coordinators which helped us experience lot of the culture and try lots of Korean food during our stay.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to travel and immerse themselves in a new culture while also having the opportunity to network, open up new opportunities, and make new friends.

My internship with Beyond is one of the…

My internship with Beyond is one of the most worthwhile experiences I had. They provide outstanding support from start to finish. Moreover, the community that Beyond gives you all throughout your stay will make your adjustment period an ease. I made life-time friendship through Beyond. Most importantly, I gained a lot of career opportunities after my internship in London. I absolutely recommend Beyond Academy!

An incredible experience, start to finish.

Beyond Academy gave me the perfect bridge between college and the working world, while also providing an opportunity for travel. I was able to customize my experience completely- from what country I interned in, how long I wanted to stay/when, if I wanted housing, and what company I worked for. Being able to tailor those aspects to fit my exact needs created the best experience possible for my timeline and goals. But most importantly, the community of Beyond Academy was so unbelievably supportive and kind. I truly loved meeting up with my community leaders and fellow interns every week, as I was able to connect with so many incredible people and cultures I wouldn't have been able to at home. Overall, this was an amazing experience for me that helped me grow as personally as I did professionally. I would absolutely recommend.
