<p>...if you're at a community college? This is in regards to magazine internships. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Because you wouldn’t have a huge alumni network to draw from, yes. But if the CC was in or near a good city, you might have the opportunity to intern during the school year. It is far easier to secure internships during spring/fall semesters than during the summer, when everyone is looking. </p>
<p>Do you have the opportunity to work on a student newspaper or something similar to that? Experience will help. Freelancing credits would help.</p>
<p>wheatbread, do you mean to ask if you are disadvantaged to land opportunities close by because of the location of your school or because you attend a community college will make you look uncompetitive?</p>
<p>If it’s the latter, then I assure you it isn’t the case. I went to a community college and was selected for a prestigious paid program (one of few) at the Smithsonian last summer. </p>
<p>In fact, I think recruiters (generally) like when students with less resources are self-motivated and reach out.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
