Dress clothes..., casual..., business dress..., business casual..., and then there's the most comfortable dress code: campus casual.
Maybe your college expects something dressier than jeans but most don't! In fact, it wasn't so many years ago that pajamas were the campus clothing of choice. Today, jeans are acceptable for undergrads, grad students, and professors, too.
So, time to transition to the workplace for your internship... is your campus casual wardrobe appropriate? In the minority of internships, your wardrobe will be fine. That means that in the majority of settings, you will need to step up a notch.
OK! How about expensive jeans? Nope, they still qualify as campus casual. Put them in the closet for a semester.
An application for a college internship should start with researching the industry. The state of the economy may influence how many opportunities you find in a particular field. The hotel and resort industry is a current example: with fewer tourists, even the big hotel chains may cut back on their number of paid internsihps. Start your research early so that you can plan your applications.

Adobe's familiar logos include this one from Adobe's corporate headquarters. The software company offers internships to BS/MS/PhD students. The areas are programming, business, and a specialized MBA area, too.
The Adobe Summer Internship web page is part of the company's web site on University Recruiting. For summer internships, the application season begins in late Fall. Positions range from the technical (programming) to the non-engineering (customer service, marketing, etc.). Like many corporate intern sites, Adobe pays a salary to student workers as well as "employment-like" features such as holiday pay and recreation activity.
Apply early to this company and consider the timeline as a hint about when you should start looking into other corporate possibilities.
It's amazing what can fit on an iPhone. Music and movies and games, and that doesn't even begin to touch the communication power of talking and texting and emailing. So, what does Vortex (or thousands of other iPhone apps) have to do with a college internship?
The question is simple: Is your internship site the appropriate place to play a game on your phone or your laptop or the company's desktop?
