It’s not hard. I did 2 semester long internships back in my day and it’s not crazy difficult to keep up with school work and partying

I go to LSE, would not recommend it until you finish at least your winter exams. I thought the exact same thing, but trust me - don't get involved in something until you know your schedule (academic, professional and social).

Last year I spent 4 days on academic work, 1 day on professional work (i.e. applications, reading startup newsletters etc), and 2 days fun. Those two days are likely on the weekend (or Wednesday).

I also lost all my holidays having to catchup on revision with this schedule (meaning I should have probably gone for 5 days) - and I do one of the harder courses (Maths and Economics).

i did a search fund internship which was BS but then a legit super small boutique internship in-semester and it was fine, was prob 3 hours of work each day and the expectation was established early on so it was okay budgeting my time. only struggle was i’m also based in the UK and these firms were in the US, so the time difference wasn’t always ideal

I study Econ at LSE (much harder course) and I did a day a week alongside everything for 6 months. You can do it if you are very well organised but from the sound of your explanation you don’t seem to be like that. I would advise you to just focus on springs and summers and get involved in campus societies rather than working part time. But I also know people who did off-cycles at really prestigious places and still got a first – so it depends on you I guess.
