Internships are a great way to compliment your education. If you need some reassurance take a look at first hand accounts from LSC students and their internship experiences from Summer 2016.
"Don’t be safe about it. Reach out and try to go further than you think you should. It was really hard to be in Sunspot. It took an hour to get down the mountain to the town to just get groceries, one way. I grew as a person a lot because it was more on my own. I didn’t know anyone. It changed me a lot for the better."

"When it came to testing the camera they didn’t go to the kids from BU, they didn’t go to the kids from Emerson, they went to me. So I think that is a testament to our school and although I experienced the internship, our professors and our students can know it wasn’t just me, any one could do what
I did this summer, anyone can have an internship like that."

"It made me realize that this is what I want to do with my life. Getting information to people and just being the face of the weather. There’s a tornado warning – “what do I do?” I turn on the TV there’s Danielle, there’s Cindy telling me what’s wrong or happening and if I am in any danger. That is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I knew that already but this experience solidified it."
