Life in technicolor

Welcome Drexel students to the Co-op Abroad blog! As a current international co-op student, you have the opportunity to share your amazing experiences abroad. As a student interested in international co-op, feel free to read about the exciting and challenging experiences that current Drexel students are facing and get to know what life is really like as an international co-op student...

I am actually a current international co-op student myself. My name is Beatrice and I'm studying Communication at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I'm doing my international co-op here at Steinbright Career Development Center as the Marketing and Communication Co-op student.

Life here in Philly has been amazing so far. So far, I have been learning new methods and techniques of marketing and promotions; developing skills that are invaluable to my career path (verbal and written communication, project management etc.); meeting friendly and helpful people and learning about their cultures; and traveling around the east coast of the U.S. I've also tried the Philly soft pretzel and Water Ice (which has to be the best thing ever!).

I am definitely looking forward to reading about your experiences as an international co-op student-- it will make me feel as if I were traveling with you around the world. And I think this song can sort-of describe how life is like during the high times of international co-op work terms!

Have an awesome week!
