Has anyone applied to IAESTE? The exchange programme for students!

Just wondering what my competition is!!!;)

SuperStudent · 12-01-2004 4:22pm

I did. Being a student has sooo many advantages.
Incidently, do you work?

woosaysdan · 12-01-2004 4:46pm

what is IAESTE?

bkehoe · 12-01-2004 5:17pm

Its the kind of exchange thing, isnt it? They send you to work in another country and people from other countrys come here. You've got a guaranteed job when you go to the place iirc.

Commissar · 12-01-2004 5:22pm

That sounds interesting. What countrys does it operate in?

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 10:25am

It operates in almost any country you can think of from America to Mongolia! I have applied to go to Japan! I am so excited! Don't know if I am going or not yet!

SuperStudent - Did you go last year or apply this year? Where did you apply to?

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 10:26am

IAESTE at Leargas,

It's great being a student.

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 10:40am

No I meant what country did you apply to? did you know that only person is sent to one country? You and your friends may not get same country! Did you get an email from Gwen today? Are you excited? How many of you applied? ahh your the competition, I shouldn't be talkin to you

SuperStudent · 13-01-2004 10:50am

I didn't get any fuvkin mail!! I applied to Cuba, and non of my friends applied to the same country.

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 11:05am

when did you apply? cuba - coooooooooooolll

rob1891 · 13-01-2004 11:16am

I applied too, got a mail also. You might not have been added to the email list, I remember this happening last year.

Wouldn't put too much thought into the countries you have a preference in, anywhere is good!! Friend went to Macedonia last Summer, had a great time with odd Europeans, I got offered a place in Prague late in the Summer and couldn't take it due to college starting etc.

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 12:43pm

I applied too, got a mail also.

Did you apply this year? To which country???

rob1891 · 13-01-2004 1:54pm

I dropped my application in on the 30th December. Can't remember what I said about countries, I'll go anywhere! Last year I applied and I mentioned a few countries, I don't remember anything suitable turning up in those particular ones. Gwen comes out to all the colleges at some stage and does interviews, basically to show the jobs they have found for us and you mark down anything that interests you.

I didn't do it when I was an undergrad and I wish now that I had. Friends did go however, and they got sent to Norway and Austria. They had a great time, so go for it!!

Pinkchick03 · 13-01-2004 3:57pm

Rob> I've applied to Japan, but have said I'm flexible! But Japan is my first choice! I'm looking forward to hearing if I got anything! What area are you in? I'm in computers! We'll know by end of January! YIPPPEEE! I really hope I get something! Let me know how you do too! :cool:

rob1891 · 13-01-2004 4:13pm

I'm in computers too, final year. There are no real life jobs so I might as well try for the internships, get a free holiday too!

Don't worry if you don't get anything in Jan., I didn't get an offer last year, but 4 jobs were emailed out during the summer (people can't take them, or new ones appear), one went to a guy in his final year, one went to my friend, I wasn't suitable for the other, and the last I think was offered to me, but it was only a month before college started.

best of luck!
