"All year round trick-or-treating, expeditions through underground labyrinths and uncovering works of reputed historians. This is just a snap shot of my internship experience on Capitol Hill, and to label it 'magically breathtaking' would be an understatement."

"The experience exceeded all my expectations and it is unbelievable how much we did and learnt in 9 weeks! Life in Sydney seems so dull in comparison and I can't wait to go back! I've already started saving for my next trip to the US."
Anjali Narendra

"While gaining knowledge through conventional secondary sources is extremely valuable, I now believe that nothing compares to first-hand experience. I can honestly say that the Washington DC Placement Program was an extraordinary educational experience."
Stuart Robertson

"There's something about being in the US that makes you feel pretty important. It's probably a DC thing, but even so, you feel like the decisions the leaders are making are actually impacting the world. And that's because they are. The world looks to America for answers."
John Tawadrous

"Being immersed in the American college environment was exciting and has given me some amazing memories. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience so make the most of every opportunity!"
