1099 NEC after internship

Hello,

I am in graduate school and I received a 1099-NEC from a summer internship for $8000. Two questions:

- Do I have to pay SE taxes?

- If I do, what can I realistically deduct as business expenses? The internship was on-site for 2 months where I had to commute every day using public transportation and I had to have meals with my coworkers. I used my own computer.
