About internship opportunities:
W&M has a campus in DC as well. Students who get internships in DC can spend the summer in the apartments W&M owns there. In addition, you can spend a semester in the DC study program, which I believe is a mix of taking classes in DC and interning at the same time. I think W&M may offer you the best of both worlds in these regards.

As for upper level courses, there are plenty of other students like you who will be taking upper level econ classes early. As such, I believe W&M offers very rigorous upper level classes that some recent graduates have said were much harder than their masters classes.

As for working for the World Bank, I have seen many speakers from places like the UN that say they pay attention when they see a W&M degree on a resume because they know W&M grads will work hard and do well.
