Internships

I am first year undegrad at a target school in the US, and I wanted to know what is the internship situation like for first years. I got told that BB's internships are really hard to get as a first year and that i should look for small boutique firms in the US or AM or even small VC's. Can you give any tips, what looks best as experience for investment banking later on?
