Internship Housing

<p>I posted this in the Georgia Tech forum but not getting responses there.</p>

<p>My daughter is going to do a summer internship in Atlanta and one of the housing options we are looking at is through the Georgia Tech Intern Lodging Program.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.conference.gatech.edu/in...ging/index.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www.conference.gatech.edu/in...ging/index.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Has anyone here used this option? If so, can you let us know what specific dorms/apartments we should request if we decide to go through this program? Is parking available? Are any of the options safer than others? Nicer? Are any near public transportation in case she doesn't take a car?</p>

<p>We are in the midwest so have no idea about the layout of the campus.<br>
Our daughter will be the only intern at this particular company so we were trying to find a living arrrangement where she could socialize with people her own age. Georgia Tech would be about 7 miles from her place of work.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>No specific info on GT, but they are in Atlanta, and have 20,000 kids. What that tells me is that they have lots of off-campus kids looking to sublet their place for the summer while they are gone. Probably can get one of those places dirt cheap, like $200/mo dirt cheap.</p>

<p>No specific information on the GT lodging, but my D used a similar program two summers ago that was through Emory. It was a decent, furnished apartment shared with 3 other young women. Each had a private room, and the apartment had two baths, a living room, and a kitchen. All the roommates were in different internship programs. There was covered parking, a pool, health club, and a convenient location. It was much easier to deal with than the sublet she found last summer. It does look like the price is quite a bit higher now.</p>

<p>I am wondering if there are any general resources for students who are interning to find affordable housing. My S will be in NY this summer and hoping that his school will assist. But it seems like a pretty common situation - so there must be some website somewhere to resolve it.</p>

<p>^^My neice had an internship in NYC last summer. She lived in a NYU dorm.</p>

<p>I think the companies that hire the interns should help with housing. Unless the internship is with the college itself, it would be near impossible to do anything besides provide general guidelines. My son applied to internships in several different states. Some companies did have housing for interns.</p>

<p>Just googled “summer intern housing, NYC”</p>
