[NABS-L] Should Transportation Be Considered When Searching for Internships?

[Kyle Garcia]

Hi Nick,

For me, yes, my ability to independently travel to any given place I'm
applying to is a consideration. That however isn't always possible, and
relying on family, friends, or rideshare if available and affordable is a
legitimate solution. I live in a dense suburban area with rather good
transit, so my priorities might be different from a less transit friendly
area. Over the summer I will be working in a new city to me with much lower
transit availability, but my particular location will be transit
accessible, as well as it's provided housing.

Regards,
Kyle
