<p>I live close to Emory University, and I want to email a political science professor, law professor, communication professor (or something in that area), but I don't know how to go about doing it. What exactly should I ask? What do high school students interning with these type of professors usually do? What can I ask to do if I'm not doing a research project?</p>
<p>This thread is very informative. It discusses everything about arranging your own internship with a local professor. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1063234-how-apply-independent-research-internships.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1063234-how-apply-independent-research-internships.html</a></p>
