Temporary Housing

If finding and paying for housing for a summer internship is a concern, then you need to carefully consider the financial impact of such an endeavor. Be certain to discuss all of your options with your parents, family members and friends.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to find housing is to contact the Housing Offices of area colleges and universities. While this is easy it is often the most expensive option.

Students should bear in mind that a listing here is not necessarily an endorsement. Students should take care in researching and following up on all housing opportunities.
