This question may not be appropriate for this board.
I'm a physics major, and I have gotten two fairly prestegious internships - one at a national lab, and one at probably the best school in my field of physics.
The good thing about going to a national lab is the fact that they have a very good retention rate for interns. I don't have the exact numbers but its ~3/4. The pay is very good, and they sometimes pay for your grad school, if you continue working with them.
The internship with the university gives me the opportunity to work with my first choice for a PhD advisor. Pays for food, lodging, and gives a nice stipend. Factoring all of this in, the amount of money I'd have at the end of the summer would be essentially the same for both cases.
Which one of the options do you guys think would be best for me in the long run?
