FIL: Isang babaeng mag-aaral na naninirahan sa loob ng paaralan o isang dormitoryo na kaakibat nito.
EN: boarder (female)
Think of the classic Filipino movies set in exclusive all-girls schools. The interna is the student who lives in the school dormitory, subject to the strict rules of a head nun or dorm mother. She's the one who can't just 'go home' after class and probably has a secret plan to sneak out after curfew.
From Spanish 'interna'.
A somewhat dated term, strongly associated with Catholic boarding schools. The male equivalent is 'interno'.
