"The world is too intersting to ignore" - President Joseph E. Aoun

Northeastern University has a high number of global connections - in 171 cities, 91 countries and 7 continents to be precise. The university's legacy is spreading and it's impact is being felt across the entire planet. Northeastern's students are globe-trotting and gaining international experience in companies around the world though the university's International Co-op program. This programe helps students connect with over 2,900 companies in different countries to give them access to incredible opportunities working, studying and researching. 

Students are faced with the challenge of starting a new job in a different country to their own. As students overcome these challenges they become internationally competent, culturally aware and gain a new confidence and awareness of living and working in a new environment. I can definitely say that i have faced many challenges adapting to life in America, however, I can also say that I have found confidence in being able to overcome these challenges and have became extremely comfortable in a culturally diverse environment. 


Below is a video that a Northeastern student made about her international co-op experience in Kenya.

One of the most amazing things about doing my internship abroad is being able to explore the other side of the world. There is so much I want to do and so many places I want to see... and one day I hope to have done and seen it ALL!
