Housing
Options
Now that
you have decided that you definitely want to intern in Washington,
DC this summer, you need to find a place to live. This can be
another daunting task. To help you, RIW has created a list of
places where interns can live during the summer. Summer housing
for interns varies both in cost and in living style. There are
several housing options available to you. |
|
One
housing option is to rent a dorm
room from a university or college in Washington, DC.
Students living in this type of environment live with
other college students from all over the nation who
come to spend the summer in DC. This type of housing
is convenient because furniture is provided and meal
plans are available, but keep in mind that it can be
costly.
Another
option is to sublet a room in an apartment
from students who reside in Washington, DC for the school
year, but go home for the summer. A few of the universities
in Washington, DC provide off-campus
housing for students. It is important to note that the
universities do not regulate such living arrangements.
One bonus of this living arrangement is that you will
most likely live with other students.
A
final option for students is to live in an apartment
building. These complexes rent apartments for a minimum
of one month. Some of them provide furniture, but others
do not. Complexes that do not provide furniture are
cheaper than those that do.
These
are merely suggestions to help start you on your housing
search. Students do reside in all types of summer housing,
from universities to apartments, to youth hostels. Remember
that listings, prices and availability are subject to
change and are independent of Rutgers University and
RIW.
