I enjoyed the collaborative style in which this internship was carried out. I felt like I was heard and taken seriously which is not particularly common within design internships. I also really appreciated how much the people genuinely cared about their work.
What I wish was different
I wish that there were clearer objectives and expectations set and communicated.
Advice
I would advise to go in with no expectations. This was my introduction to the professional world of architecture and it was nothing like I thought it would be. I think it is very important to go in with an open mind and soak up as much information as possible. I learned more applicable knowledge in the few months I spent with them, than the two and a half years I have spent in school.

Construction Services Intern
May 2019 • Omaha, NE
What I liked
The atmosphere and staff were extremely welcoming. A lot of the younger staff became friends and spent time together outside of work
What I wish was different
I found myself with periods of downtime as the work flow was not the smoothest
Advice
As an architecture student I did not envision enjoying a construction services intern but i was able to get a lot of on site experience and obtain a wealth of knowledge about the construction process i never knew
