On the 18th of August, a group of CCIP J-1 interns (www.theccip.com) had the opportunity to head to Boston, America’s oldest city and the capital of Massachusetts. Famous for its historic part in the American Revolution and as home to some of today’s top-tier schools, Boston was an exciting city for the CCIP to explore.
Some of the must-do prospects on the trip’s list of things to do included visits to leading universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Nanyang Technological University student Parthiban R., also a group leader and one of the trip’s activity coordinators, was thrilled to be given the opportunity to plan the outing for his fellow participants. “I’m really glad I was able to bring my friends here to such inspiring and amazing locations. To know that so many brilliant people have studied here and now to get to walk around on this campus is mind-blowing to me!”
Having lived in New York for awhile now, students were acclimatized to the sights and sounds of American city life. However, giving the students ample time to explore other parts of the historic city gave them a different experience of America. Activity coordinator Jackson Lai, a student from Open University in Hong Kong, shared a highlight. “At first, I wasn’t sure what there was to do in Boston, but I enjoyed walking through the city and seeing how different it is from my home country and from New York.”
CCIP not only lets students experience working in America, but also gives them exposure to the culture and history of the country -- and exchange visitors find there’s a lot to enjoy. It is safe to say that the students had a memorable time in Boston and that the trip gave them an opportunity to experience more of what the US has to offer.
