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
