If you're going to work remotely, I would recommend skipping the internship. If you know rails and can throw together a nice webapp, and you're studying CS, you're qualified to do real work. Just apply for some contracts on the basic freelancer sites out there, get some experience, then apply to more ambitious places.
Open source participation could also provide meaningful interaction with others on par with an internship.

The world is full of people that need little apps done. I'm a CS major, and I've never been without a friend or two bugging me to do a project for them. There are also many companies that need a competent web developer. With time and effort, you can effectively shortcut the internship and gain real experience, doing real projects and get paid real money.
