<p>I’m not advocating for one college or the other, but you’re significantly overestimating the lack of opportunity, especially concerning community service.

<p>Porter offers volunteer opportunities in areas that I believe would be of interest, such as the ER and surgical unit. Although Porter is only a 45 bed facility, the hospital has state-of-the art surgical facilities, CT scanning and MRI technology, and performs advanced procedures like joint replacement. Porter also has an outstanding ER department…all the aforementioned are very impressive for a small community hospital.</p>
<p>I see no reason why it wouldn’t be possible to transition a volunteer position into an internship of sorts. Often the only difference between a volunteer and an intern is semantics.
