Computer Science internships for incoming freshman?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Hey, I'm going to major in compsci next year at umd and want to get a job/internship related to my field(atleast remotely) this summer. Any places I should check out or see? I live in Monroe, NJ, for any reference. It could be almost anything related to programming or computer science. </p>

<p>Also, I'd like to know what are the chances of getting an internship in the winter? Would it make a significant difference in getting one if I studied some programming this summer(I already took ap compsci and am probably taking java again next year, so I'm not too big on learning it 3 times)? Is it more worthwhile for me to just get a normal job?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Its probably too late to do anything this summer, the majority of the internships run mid may-mid august and we’re pretty much right in the middle. I would definitely say look at a company that you would like to work with and learn some of the technical parts of what they do, from what i’ve heard a majority of compsci companies when interviewing will make you answer technical questions and code infront of them. As for winter internship ive never heard of that happening :/</p>
