Thanks! That sounds intense. How do you manage 20-30 hours a week and balance your coursework, given it's such a short program? Also, does this mean international students can't make use of these experiences? My understanding is that they can only work 20 hours on on campus jobs. Seems to only serve American students :-(

Hi! Thanks for your helpful advice. Can you speak more specifically to what you are doing or have done on your various internships? I'm deciding between PennGSE and HGSE and it would seem that Penn students also have a lot of great experiences during the program (and then the actual international internship - which sounds amazing and I've heard that several students have converted those into jobs - including UN ones) but they don't call the projects they work on during the academic year "internships". So what makes your experience count as an "internship" if they're not full time? How many hours did you spend a week on your internships? How did you balance it with studying? How connected were your internships with your future career interests? etc. etc! Thanks.
