Rating
Overall Wetfeet is quite a useful tool that can be used by undergraduates. It is easy to navigate and simple to use. The takeaway feature of this website is the internship search tool. For any of you guys who are out there looking for an international internship custom made to your profile, this is the site to use! The one significant drawback is that is it very American consumer centric rather than Asian oriented.
