No internship offer. What now?

I would just ask your professors, I can understand your hesitancy but really the worst they could do is say no. Maybe explain your situation, so it doesn’t seem like you waited until the last minute to set up summer plans.

I’m sort of in the same position as you, but I waited a really long time to try to set up my summer plans. I was trying to do an internship in DC (I go to school in DC) but decided I will most likely intern abroad instead. However, even this late into summer I have found several paid internship openings and had interest in my resume. I pretty much found everything through my school’s career center, have you tried talking to them? It helped a lot meeting with someone in person. Are you only looking for internships in your area? Maybe if you looked in other cities that would help (assuming you’re willing to relocate.)
