Why do you want to intern?

You're young and at university still, this is the perfect time to start up your own company. Its nearly winter in Melbourne too, perfect for locking yourself away and working for yourself rather than others.

That's true, but I've coded away in my bedroom before and it can get quite lonely. If I can't find anything I'll definitely be doing that though.

I'll also be graduating next year and would really appreciate the experience of working with a team.

Well working in an already established start up will certainly give you experience.

You should also consider liasoning with your peers in the student union. I havent been to RMIT in many moons but i remember they had a pretty good comsci community. In fact I think theres a python club and a startup club that actually meets at RMIT fortnightly, maybe you can hunt them down? Networking is worth gold.

Get out of the house and do a bit of co-working, check out inspire9.org and Melbourne Jelly for a start.
Alright thanks, I'll look into them.
