What should I do with this internship?

if you have the option to get a 20hr internship chose that one over the 40hr one. If your uni doesn't require you to go through an internship and you're only doing it for CV you may want to not do one at all until you get your degree and just focus on uni.

I live in eastern europe so both internship programs and university demands are different, but i can tell you that working 40hrs/week and having a full semester at college is hell and you should avoid it if you have a choice.

I am not required to take an internship. I am looking for one so I can have some experience to put on my resume before I graduate.

Since so far the only internship that has contacted me is the universal one I linked I am unsure if I'll have the opportunity to take the 20 hour a week ones. I applied through my campus and the recruiter said they are still haven't been filled yet meaning there is potential they might contact me, but there is no guarantee.

I really don't want to mess up my last semester of school by being overburdened by a 40 hour a week job but I also don't want to graduate without having any relevant experience to put on my resume.

I could wait... and maybe the other 5 will contact me, or new internships I can apply for will open up. But I'll feel guilty declining if it turns out this is going to be my only offer.

Why? Are you in such a hurry to make money? You'll get internships after you get your degree just as easy, at its worst it will delay you getting a "real" job by 3-6 months.

I thought you could only get internships while you're enrolled in university? Once I'm out I'm not sure if I can get internships anymore.

Where I live you can get internships even if you never set foot in an university, let alone after you finish one.

So for the internships you applied to, were the requirements being enrolled at a degree seeking university? You can always take less (or no) classes for just that semester to handle the internship. Don't be in a rush to graduate, having an internship is worth taking a little longer.

Hmm they don't typically say that an enrollment is required but usually mention something about needing to be graduating after a certain date which I felt implies if you graduate before that date they aren't interested since you'll no longer be enrolled in university.

As for taking less classes, I don't really want to do that since I'm taking my second semester of senior design right now and everything is lined up nice and neatly for me to graduate after this semester.

Why not ask them if it's a requirement? No use speculating, just do it.
