Study Abroad Experience: London School of Economics 2025-26, Douglass-O'Connell Global Internship Summer 2024 in Ireland

Hi everyone, I’m JP! I studied abroad in London for the entirety of the 2026-2027 academic year with the London School of Economics and Public Policy. Studying abroad was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and getting to experience London for an entire year is something I’ll never forget. It was challenging at times, LSE having a level of academic rigor unlike anything else I’ve experienced, but it was one of the most rewarding feelings ever to receive a grade that you worked hard for. Having the chance to explore the city, meet new people, and learn from world renowned professors was a transformative opportunity, and I hope to be back in London sooner rather than later! 

During my time at Bentley, I was selected for CIEE’s Frederick Douglass – Daniel O’Connell Global Fellowship program, an experience that sent me to Ireland for 2 months in 2024 where I interned at a small regulatory technology startup named ComplyFirst. That was really my first foray into international education, and I just fell in love with the experience. On campus, I have served as the President of the Bentley Consulting Association, VP of Professional Development for Scholars of Finance, and other involvements across organizations. 

Outside of school, I currently live in Colorado but was originally born in Mexico. I plan to return to Colorado after graduation, where I’ll be working for BCG as a full-time associate. Please feel free to reach out for any questions, international-education related or not!

Study Abroad Experience: University of Manchester Spring 2025, BGX January 2025 in Panama, BGX May 2024 in England

Hello everyone, I am Juan Demetrio Hermida. I went abroad during the Spring 2025 semester to The University of Manchester and participated in two BGX courses (May 2024 in London and January 2025 in Panama). I am an international student from Quito, Ecuador and I started to learn English from a very young age, which helped me grow up with the desire to travel the world and meet new people. I actually started going to university in Japan for a semester before switching to Bentley. All of these experiences abroad have helped me understand how important it is to be open to new experiences and have the courage to go out of your comfort zone.

In my BGX classes I met a lot of wonderful people who I had never seen before on campus, and we got to know each other very well in just a 10 day period! I encourage Bentley students to take these unique opportunities during their time at Bentley, since they allow you to have a small taste of our enormous world alongside other students. During my semester abroad I met with some friends in the UK and explored the beautiful city of Manchester, traveled around the UK, and even visited four Asian countries! In UoM I observed the differences between teaching styles and how students participate and prepare for class. I loved how UoM had a building run entirely by students.

Leaving my home country by myself for the first time was challenging, but I believed that if I wanted to succeed then I would need to open myself to new cultures and experiences. I understand that some people might be afraid to take the first step as there is a lot of uncertainty about places we have not been to or/and where we know nobody. I am more than happy to share my personal experiences and lessons learned from my time abroad or help with questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

Study Abroad Experience: CIEE Sophia University Spring 2026, Absolute Internship Summer 2025 in Sweden

I studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan, where I lived with a host family, and completed an accounting internship in Stockholm, Sweden. For me, pursuing these international experiences was a way of challenging myself by stepping into completely new environments, immersing myself in different cultures, and learning how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.

From navigating daily life in Tokyo and living with my host grandmother to experiencing a new professional environment in Stockholm, I gained a broader perspective on how people live, work, and connect across different cultures. These experiences pushed me outside of my comfort zone while helping me become more independent, open minded, and confident in unfamiliar environments.

I believe that going abroad is one of the best ways to learn about yourself and the world around you. Having experienced both studying and working abroad firsthand, I’d be more than happy to share my experiences and answer any questions from students considering an international opportunity!
