I'm a freshman. I was planning to study abroad in Beijing and Shanghai this summer. Just found out that I was offered the AT&T FLITE Intership. Should I drop my studying abroad plan and do the internship instead? My friends also got it, and I'm starting to feel that study abroad will put me behind.

As a sophomore who chose to do an internship over the summer rather than a study abroad program during my freshman summer, I would say your choice depends on whether this is actually a company you want to work in after graduation and also how confident you are that going to land an internship at your desired firm for your sophomore year (meaning take a look at your stats). This being said, I think it's important to know that this summer is the easiest one for you to go abroad.
