No friction at all. They weren't even expecting interns, so there was no "application process." I had a chat with them at their office and they wanted me to join.

My university's in the same town, so I was planning on staying here over the summer.

I think the entire process was quite amazing, actually. This company was where I wanted to be, doing what I was interested in, and produced a service that I think has/will have a major impact.

Feel free to contact me! I can't give a lot of advice since I'm just getting started, but I think my (limited) experiences may help.
