<p>I was just offered an internship in another city. The biggest problem I'm having right now is finding the best place to stay. It's not a common internship city (NYC, DC), so housing isn't as extensive. Also, I don't want to have a car, and while it does have a decent public transportation system, it's not ideal, so I'd want to be pretty close to where I'll be working. I don't want to spend $1,500+ on an apartment, especially as I would have to furnish it. Any advice? I'm still in high school, so there's no college network for me to utilize. </p>
<p>How would you recommend finding affordable, temporary housing for a summer internship?</p>
<p>It's a banking internship (which is cool) and they give me a <em>small</em> stipend. Emphasis on small.</p>
<p>Hmm … I’ve always wondered how to go about this, too. (Sort of why I was iffy about applying to out-of-state internships that didn’t include housing :/.) Are there any youth hostels in the area?</p>
<p>Well, it’s not unreasonable for teenagers to be anonymous online.</p>
<p>Many colleges do offer dorms for “rent” over the summer, as suggested, although it might be a bit pricey. You should inquire about dormmates beforehand should you choose this route; some will pair you with a random college student.</p>
<p>Well, the problem is, most of the schools are too far away from where I’ll be working. The office is in the city center, but the schools are more on the outskirts. I thought about that, though. A lot of them also have “must be college student” policies as well.</p>
<p>I will PM you with the specific city–I’d like to remain relatively anonymous online.</p>
