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!

Christmas
During this time every year, I remember I always felt thankful and happy. I felt it when seeing others wrapping gifts for families and friends. I felt it when watching falling snow.
But this year I am in China where Christmas is not such an important holiday. I work in an expat community so everybody has left for a vacation. It is so quiet around here. I just packed things yesterday deciding to travel around China a little bit more and to come back to Vietnam.
The last 3 months in China without much travelling is boring and challenging. It is boring because of the nature of the job (sport desk receptionist = no real job to do). It is challenging because I do not have real friends here and my Chinese is not that good to befriend quickly. My resolution for the next 3 months: TRAVELLING, TRAVELLING & TRAVELLING.
For everyone in the US, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
