Starr Vijolan-Bobelea in Washington in Fall 2023.<\/p><\/div>\n

Starr Vijolan-Bobelea, a fourth-year student majoring in Political Science, spent fall of 2023 in Washington DC with Ramapo\u2019s DC internship program. We asked her a few questions about her experience:<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to do a DC internship instead of one closer to home?<\/i><\/strong> I chose to pursue an internship in Washington, DC to participate in a type of study abroad program that is not as far as other forms of study abroad programs. In addition, as a political science major pursuing a future in the legal field, I was very intrigued to work in a public interest law firm. In the future, I would like to pursue a career in New York City, but for the time being, I wanted to get a sense of the work culture in our nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

What were some of the challenges you faced in your internship?<\/i><\/strong> Adjusting to the distance from home was the biggest challenge I faced. Being my first time away from home, it took some getting used to being away from my family. However, this experience definitely gave me a sense of independence.<\/p>\n

What did you do in DC outside of the classes and internships?<\/i><\/strong> Outside of classes and my internship obligations, I attended numerous networking events and explored many of DC\u2019s museums.<\/p>\n

Would you recommend this for other Ramapo students?<\/i><\/strong> I would definitely recommend this program to other Ramapo students, regardless of their field of study. I believe that there is something for everyone in Washington, DC, and it is a beautiful, productive city to gain working experience.<\/p>\n

Ramapo\u2019s Washington DC internship program is not just for political science majors. If you or are your students are interested in contact Prof. Jeremy Teigen<\/a> (B211) or check out www.wiidc.org\/ramapo<\/a><\/p>\n
