Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse was easily the best place we have been to thus far. When they started explaining the business and how the company was run I wanted to apply for their internship immediately. Also, since they have a large amount of Elon graduates it only seems fitting. It was also a very different presentation from the past presentations we have … Continue Reading

Most of the plans and goals are online, but most of the time students will be … Continue Reading

Proximity Hotel
The Proximity Hotel was a very impressive hotel along with expensive. It is $289 per nights stay at the hotel, which is very far out of my league, but seemed appropriate after hearing what went into the building design and monetary values that were considered. This is exactly what the mission of proximity hotel is, to provide our guests with … Continue Reading
