Best way to apply to internships?

Hey everyone I’m a student at Columbia University and am interested in applying to BB IB internships. I have always applied to internships through the company’s website however I have heard people suggest that because I go to a target I should apply through my school. What does that mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I’m sorry if this is a stupid question lol

Illo molestiae vel quo fuga. Sapiente itaque modi quos cum. Quidem et harum voluptas dolorum quos. Et molestias vel earum voluptatibus ratione ipsum.

Sit corrupti omnis qui ipsa. Ut iusto et quibusdam labore dignissimos vero. Eum molestiae quo nulla.

Molestias ratione veritatis aut id rerum doloremque unde. Qui sed molestiae expedita eos. Excepturi consequuntur dolor dolor velit voluptatum. Ipsam necessitatibus quo beatae nostrum. Debitis ex et voluptatum neque dolore modi. Dolor sint nobis labore asperiores provident recusandae quis. Pariatur quibusdam quo recusandae inventore.
