Hey,
I have been given the opportunity to go on a free six-week internship at almost any college or university around the country, and I need help finding out which colleges and universities have great physics opportunities along with people who are willing to take a 17 year old. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

I'm confused, first you say you already have an internship almost anywhere, then you are asking where you can find an internship. Can you clarify what you mean?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm unsure of what university or college has the best internships for students interesting in studying physics, and I was hoping that someone could help me what colleges to look at to see if I'm interesting in any of the internship possibilities there. I hope that clears up the confusion, but I am very bad at explaining thing.

Ok, that makes more sense, thanks! Don't worry, it may be that I am the slow one and that it was clear to everyone else!
