Summer Internships Abroad

Applying to College

<p>Ok- well, I'm starting this thread since my other one on Sweden is kind of dead.</p>

<p>I wanted to study abroad in Sweden this summer, but figured I'd try other places. I looked at Summer</a> internships abroad, summer intern, intern abroad, summer internship, internship in Italy, Spain, Australia, France, UK which has a wealth of info. There seems to be an internship option in my field in London, which would be great during the summer- only thing is, living expenses there are completely insane.</p>

<p>I mean this honestly: is studying abroad one of those things you just need a lot of money for, like a good private school? Should I even bother anymore? I'm realistic in the fact that I know money will have to come out of pocket- but it seems you have to pay about 10 grand plus thousands more in living expenses (plus about 2 thousand in plane tickets) to go anywhere. I always think the school will help me with loans and grants.</p>

<p>Yes, living expenses are insane. Not only is London one of the most expensive cities to live in, but the exchange rate is just plain stupid. When I was there, it was just under 2-to-1 to the dollar.</p>

<p>The only suggestion I can make for you is this:</p>

<p>Your biggest expenses will come from your housing and food. For this, I would suggest a homestay. Depending on the program, you'll pay less than an apartment, and the family will generally provide you with meals. </p>

<p>It was easier for me because I went to school during my stay, and as a result I was given scholarships for that. I'm not sure how you would fare with an internship.</p>

<p>I know I haven't answered your questions, but have you checked this list of internships?

<p>Good luck,

<p>Here’s a program that has short-term summer internships in Sevilla, Spain. But be warned that it gets really hot there during the summer.</p>

<p>have you checked out Travellers Worldwide? I’ve been looking at that for South Africa. the cost looks fairly reasonable.</p>
