Internship as a Freshman

Hey,
So I’m currently a freshman at a top-25 university (USA). I’m currently in a dilemma now because during February and March, I applied to a bunch of internships both located near my university and near my home. At this point, I have only heard back from a few and have been rejected by all of them. Is there anything I can do now to try to obtain an internship? Even if I receive an internship near my university, I don’t think I would be able to accept it because it is most likely too late to receive housing. I would also appreciate it if someone could give me other tips about how to look for other summer opportunities (jobs, volunteer opps, etc.). Because spring break has passed, I can’t go door-to-door to businesses to ask for job opportunities. I have looked for some volunteer opportunities and job opportunities at my local mall nearby via the internet, but I was wondering if it would be too late if I tried door-to-door once summer started (I go to a school with a quarter system, so I don’t leave school until June). Thanks for all responses.
