<p>So I just heard that I got an internship in DC for the summer for the Dept. of Education and I am super excited! I am currently a senior in HS and will be attending college next year. I could use any kind of help/advice but I'm specifically concerned about financing, college credits and different housing options. My top college choices are University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, Stony Brook and GWU and Fordham (haven't been accepted into last 2 yet but the first 3 I have). If anyone could tell me how summer internships work for incoming freshmen (college credits, maybe financial aid) at any of these universities I would be super grateful!</p>
<p>I already got the internship actually but that will definitely come in handy in the near future. I was just wondering if anyone knew how internships worked at those schools/ if i could get college credit/ cheap housing in DC.</p>
