  • This internship program has provided me with knowledge and connections I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. I got to be in a new city for a whole month and go on trips to places I wouldn’t normally go to. I got a sneak peak on what college is really like and living on your own. I also feel like this experience has matured me significantly.

  • My internship mostly helped me clarify my college goals. My internship solidified that anthropology is what I want to study. I loved my experience at the art gallery. It’s a beautiful workplace and I love to talk to visitors about the space. All my co-workers including my boss were so enjoyable to work with.

  • I had the best experience. I loved coming to work every day. I learned office tasks, the business side of acting, auditions, and about college theater programs. You not only learn the business side of acting, but about what life as an actor in New York is like. It absolutely helped me think about my future.

  • I was able to learn some of the medical abbreviations which will not only prepare me for when I enter the physical therapy field, but also when I take classes in college. Since I really enjoy this internship, I feel like I am giving off a positive image of myself to my supervisor, all of his coworkers, and the patients.Nicole Melone, Medical InternNorth Wales, PA
  • I want to thank you for running such a wonderful program. Annabel has gained invaluable life experiences from her time in New York and has made many lasting friendships with the other interns.Jane Anne Dempsey, ParentSydney, Australia
  • My favorite aspect of my internship was getting to talk to the doctors and nurses and getting a better perspective on what their jobs really entail. I felt it was not really difficult but it was it was an adjustment to learn where everything was located and the certain codes I need to remember to get into certain rooms and where different things were located in the hospital. I've learned that the hospital is definitely place I would like to work one day because of how important the hospital is to the people in the community.Lucy Hardy, Medical InternBethpage, NY
  • The NYU class really helps us dissect and greater understand our internship. Instead of simply doing a job, we can see the skills gained and the skills we already had intensified. I can walk out of class with a better outlook on what I'm doing during the day.
    Harshita Gaba, Medical InternFargo, ND
