[quote=Anonymous]I had a terrible experience with them in 2012 the summer after my sophomore year in college. I applied to the program, was interviewed, told I'd be a good fit, and they were excited to "place" me into an internship.

When filling out all the paperwork, I indicated to them that I would not be utilizing the room and board offered in DC, as my parents' house was in Rockville very close to the red line station, so I would commute to my internship. It was supposed to be a summer internship so I would be in Rockville during the summer. I attended Salisbury University and put down my Salisbury dorm address in my application, so if they needed to send me any physical mail I'd receive it. So they were under the impression that I lived in Salisbury full-time.

When I told them that I would NOT be utilizing the room and board (which costs extra $$$ on top of the price of the program itself), as well as the reason why, they immediately canceled my application. Their reasoning was because I put down Salisbury as my address, I "lied" on the application.

So, they were very interested in me until they found out that I would not be paying the extra lodging fees. They are 100 percent a scam. Sorry I cannot give you more insight into the program itself, but this should indicate to you that it's about the money first and the students second.
