I'm a second year student at Glasgow Caledonian University, completing a Business Studies degree. As part of my course I was required to find a 48 week placement, which would enhance my real life business knowledge, skills and put my theoretical knowledge I had been learning from my course to use.
My placement officer - Declan Jones - had told us about a placement opportunity in Northeastern University, in Boston, Massachusetts. When I heard this I thought 'what an amazing opportunity - a once in a life time'. So I had to go for it!
January came and we could now start applying. After 3 interviews, a lot of nerves and a LOT of work. I was told I had been successful for the international admission intern post.
I was over the moon and to make it even better one of my friends had been successful for one of the other posts, so we would be going together !
After all the excitement it hit me the fact I would be moving to another country ! I did get a little nervous for the fact I have never been away from home or my family for more than a week!
Never the less I am looking forward to such an amazing experience, and with the technology these days I know I will be able to keep in touch very easily!
