<p>Can students rent out a bed in their dorm room for 6 weeks in the summer?</p>

<p>I just found out that my son made it past round 1 in the internship selections at Vanderbilt. </p>

<p>I have an old friend who lives in Nashville that I was hoping my son could rent a room from if accepted to this internship. But after searching Facebook I see that my friend is having a midlife crisis and enjoying the single life again. I'm wondering if a dorm room is an option?</p>

<p>Is dorm housing a scarcity at Vanderbilt? There is no housing offered by the summer research program and it says you have to provide your own supervised housing. He is still a minor at 17 so maybe the sponsoring department does not want to be responsible for minors.</p>

<p>Has anyone faced this problem of making living arrangements in Nashville?</p>

<p>My son is a high school junior and will begin his senior year after completing the 6 weeks of summer research at Vanderbilt (if he gets accepted.)</p>

<p>They don’t provide any kind of housing? That seems odd…</p>

<p>It’s possible to sublet over the summer; usually runs around $600-700+ per month depending on the apartment complex/how many people you’re living with. </p>

<p>There’s Lewis & Morgans ([Intern</a> Housing | Office of Conferences | Vanderbilt University](<a href=“http://www.vanderbilt.edu/conferences/intern-housing/]Intern”>http://www.vanderbilt.edu/conferences/intern-housing/)) as well. ($35 single/$25 double per night). The department has to pay for it though.</p>
