So I an going through background checks for a BB summer analyst position, where they asked for my full employment history. The problem is..I interned at the same BB in their Wealth Management arm and quit halfway through the internship program, since my school advised me to terminate the internship. I was wondering, would it matter if I quit the internship? In addition, what should I put for "reason for leaving" and should I still put my supervisor's name?
Thanks!

Why would your school ever advise you to quit...
Most BBs probably knew about your prior internship before they accepted you.
Thanks! The internship was strictly cold calling which my school doesn't allow students to do. Plus my supervisor forbides me from grabbing lunch as well so my school advised me to quit.
What a load of monkey$#!t What kind of school does that? Your adviser is not helping you out dude. Glad to hear that you got another internship. As for the 'reason for leaving', just tell them the truth, it should be just fine.
As long as you can pin the blame/responsibility on your school, you should be fine.
On the other hand though OP's supervisor does sound like a hardass.
