How Do I Begin Looking for a Career in Hedge Funds

I'm a senior at a target school for financial services who is interested in Hedge Funds, but only understand bits and pieces of it. Do entry-level positions exist, and how do I begin looking for these positions and preparing? Also, is there anything I need to keep in mind throughout the entire process?
