Universities offerring Aerospace research oppurtunities- please suggest

In summary, the conversation is about a person who is pursuing a graduation in Aerospace Engineering and is looking for information on good colleges/universities in Europe and USA that offer research programs in CFD and Propulsion. They also mention their interest in seeking a summer internship in the field of Aerospace and ask for help in finding opportunities. In response, someone suggests Cal-Tech in the USA and the University of Manchester in the UK. The original person clarifies that they are looking for a summer internship and not admission, and is open to research opportunities in other areas as well. The conversation then shifts to the difficulty of finding internships at universities outside of one's own. Finally, someone asks for recommendations for a first degree in aeronautical

Hi all.
If possible can anyone please help me out in seeking a summer internship for the year 2009 in the field of Aerospace.
My topics of interest include aerodynamics, astrophysics and Propulsion.
Any help will be appreciated.


P.s I have currently dropped any interest in cfd still research opportunities in the field are acceptable to me.

Very few universities run internships for students that are not their own.

what does that mean??
not their own in the sense of nationality ??

Not their own in the sense of students. Why would a university pass up its own students in order to better train someone else? That makes no sense.
