Fantastic opportunity to work and live in NYC - my placement was fantastic. I now have a better job than I did 18 months ago, thanks to the Mountbatten Institute experience. Also, I think the outstanding Housing team deserve a mention. People will give Newport (where you'll live) a lot of stick but you will never live in a better location in your life.

Previous reviewers have expressed their issues with management. However, we're all above the age of 21 so we shouldn't be expecting to be wrapped in cotton wool. Yes, the pay was not great but we knew the score when we signed up to the program. My advice to anyone thinking of doing Mountbatten is 1. Save plenty of money before going 2. Stay out of Mountbatten 'politics' (I kept myself to myself, met a lot of locals and made the most of my time in NYC without depending on support from the Mountbatten network). 3. DO IT.
