Your Guide to Internships That Provide Housing

New cities give us new leases on life. Internships with provided housing let you experience that.

Internships that provide housing for their interns are extremely helpful! They allow you to work in exciting places without worrying about creating a long-term lease while you’re still figuring things out. These programs also let the intern explore a new city and meet new people without the distraction of being at home. They encourage you to make new connections and network for the short time that you’re interning with them.

How do I find an internship that includes housing?

When looking for an internship that includes housing, start by looking for roles through your university. Your career counselor can point you in the direction of internships with housing–even internships through school where dorm housing is an option. Also make sure that you’re using key terms like “housing” when searching on your own.

How can I tell if an internship offers housing?

Usually if an internship program offers housing they'll state it directly in the application. Before you even apply you should check the internship details to see if housing is offered and where their housing is located. If you’re still unclear about the details, don’t hesitate to email the company you’re applying to directly to clear the air.

Where can I find housing during my internship if it’s not offered?

Depending on the city that you’re interning in, there are certain housing resources that you should check first.

Some popular housing sites are:

  1. Apartments.com
  2. Zillow
  3. Hotpads
  4. Craigslist
  5. Join a Housing, Rooms, Apartments, and Sublets group on Facebook for your particular city
