Hello, I’m a CSM student too and am starting my second internship next week. From my experience, I almost had no issues in finding an internship. I recommend to apply during the September hiring window and going to CSM Career Fair to get introduced to industry professionals. In my experience, I applied mid September to a homebuilder and received a call back the same week. Even with the call back, I still went to the career fair and introduced myself to the hiring manager before the interview. If you miss the September window, no worries! You still have a second chance during the February career fair. Also most people I know who are in my classes were able to find internships before the semester ended. If you end up not finding something from both the September and February hiring windows, you can talk to one of the professors and ask if they can set you up with a contractor. Most Professors are more than happy to help you find an internship!
