Every day was different. Worked on projects from the beginning to the end. Got a lot of experience and training in the field along with in the office. Learned a lot and had a lot of networking. Focus was on younger staff and training, a lot of social events outside of work and marketing. A lot of opportunities to manager and take control of your projects.
What I wish was different
Working past 40 hours wasn't compensated for. Having to make sure you hit a certain amount of "billable hours", not a good work life balance.
Advice
Take any opportunity given to you, even if its working on a job site late at night or early in the morning. Working right outside Washington D.C. I took any opportunity with jobs and networking.

What I wish was different
I wish there was more work to be done. A lot of the time, the interns had nothing to do.
Advice
Never be afraid to ask your supervisor for work.
