"I believe that with this internship I will be able to get better jobs because I have unique experiences and I have a different take on things. Standing out and looking at things a different way can be really beneficial to both myself and many companies. Learning how to model and starting to learn how to program will be very useful as well."

"I believe that I will have a good chance of getting a good job next work term and that I will have a good chance at getting into the graduate program that I want to go in (whichever that will be when the time comes). I have really enjoyed me time here and I think I was learned a lot, both professionally and personally that will help me grow in both ways and that I can use in any situation."

"Overall this experience has solidified my interest in research and pursuing a second degree. It has also opened me up to the idea of going abroad in other opportunities to have other experiences like this. I have enjoyed everything about Germany and could see myself living here in the future after I have studied the German language more. Europe itself has also proved to be very beautiful with astounding culture and history.

If I was offered this opportunity again, I would do it without any further consideration. Also, I would recommend this opportunity to everyone but suggest that they have a fairly good understanding of the German language. This experience has changed my life and I will never forget it."

"The main reason this internship could improve my job prospects in the future is because it gave me a chance to gain valuable, hard-to-get experience that I would NOT have had the chance to acquire in my home country. It also provided me with the opportunity to work in a German workplace, which helped me internationalize my job experience and which might be very appealing to a future employer. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!"
