The Student Experience
Why did you choose to participate in a Brown Semester Internship Program?
I chose to participate in the Open Campus program because I was striving for a type of growth -- professionally, academically, socially, and personally -- that a typical semester on campus could probably not nurture. Professionally, I wanted to gain the invaluable experience of working full-time at a tech-based company, one that prioritizes high-quality work, the development of technical abilities, and a healthy work-life balance. Academically, the Open Campus program would teach me the delicate skill of time management, balancing a full-time internship with a semester's worth of coursework.

What did you like most about your internship?
I liked the openness of the program layout and requirements compared to traditional study abroad programs. There was much more flexibility to define how I interacted with Berlin. I was working 20 hours between Monday and Thursday (I chose how I divided up this time), and taking two Zoom classes. Because of this, I had more spontaneous experiences and unexpected and rewarding moments. Learn more about Kevin's Experience
How did the experience shape what you have done since or will do next?
The experience, both the physical location and my workplace, definitely gave me some clarity on what I want my work life to look like after I leave Brown! I am still unsure of what I want to do but I know that I really enjoyed working in a supportive, forward driven, female-led office and I liked living in a walkable city where I could commute anywhere I needed to go quickly and easily. I'll definitely keep these principles in mind as I move forward and decide what to do and where to be next.
