<p>I’ve saved a bunch of $$ these past two summers by doing programs that are actually “free” – in fact, I got paid!
–I did an internship at a local university and helped out with research…sooo many places like politicians’ offices, law offices, research labs and veterinary clinics are realllly glad to have interns…you may not get paid any money, but you get valuable experience, a fun/interesting time, something to put on your college resume, and a clean conscience for saving your parents a lot of money!!! They may not be at colleges, but they are definitely a lot of fun!
–Also look into TASP, the House/Senate page programs, and the Washington Workshops program
Good luck!!!</p>
