<p>Ok just 2 points to make:
- I did an REU internship last summer, and there was a girl from Haverford there. So n of 1, yes people from Haverford get internships.
- There is absolutely no way it takes an hour or two to get to penn from Haverford. My house is a little more than twice the distance from the city as Haverford is (I pass Haverford on the way in) and I can drive the whole way in about 35 minutes (not during rush hour of course but in regular traffic) so I’d say 20 minutes driving from Haverford. It sounds like you would be planning on taking public transportation though, and again from my area (double the distance from Haverford) the train takes about 50 minutes.</p>
