    i did this program and got two amazing summer work/ cultural experiences, the first was in Croatia for 6 weeks and then hit the jackpot with 10 weeks in Tokyo

    Can't speak highly enough of IAESTE, back in my day (10 yrs ago) we got grants for the flights, dont know what the story is these days

    These were viewed very well during graduate interview stages

    No grants for the flights these days but still a great opportunity to go somewhere with a job sorted before hand. Got a job in the states with it last year and I'm still here even though the internship is over now, they kept me on for another year!
