How was your internship experience? |
I was very lucky to find internship by myself, as my own designed project without any recommendations or help of my mentor at host University. I‘ve challenged myself and proof that nothing is impossible. I had two internships. One was at Library of Congress- European Division (during the academic year) where I worked on building and evaluating the web portals for European section. The second internship was at University in California , San Diego , La Jolla , where I worked on online databases, electronic resources and their evaluation. My ‘boss' was quite cooperative and colleagues were helpful, nice people. In few words, my internship was challenging, relaxing, useful, quite interesting.

| What were your impressions of the U.S.? |
My impression of USA is that comparing to Europe it is a totally different culture, with its own regulations, own professional and cultural differences which was quite interesting for observation. Americans, apart from that, are very nice and innate people.
