My older S did an out of state internship after his junior year in h.s. He loved the field he was working in, and spent lots of extra time on the job. He didn’t seem to miss not being at home and not having peers his age at work (The other interns were college juniors, seniors and grad students).

If it ends up that you love your internship, you may end up spending extra hours there and and taking work home. You also may spend some evenings talking over the work with your supervisors and maybe even going to writers/editors workshops, conferences, etc., since there are lots of things like that in NYC.

If you genuinely enjoy the field that you’d be interning in, you may find that you don’t miss your friends that much. Anyway, you always can catch up with them through Iming and possibly by seeing them on long weekends.
