Summer housing in Boston?

College Majors Musical Theater Major

<p>One of my students will be doing a summer internship with a theatre company in Boston. She is exploring her summer housing options. She is looking for housing from the second week in June through mid-August. Would like to be in Boston, but could live outside the city as long as it was safe and walking distance from the T. She is looking for a furnished apartment or room. </p>

<p>She has been looking on Craigslist, BostonGlobe.com, etc... and is exploring summer internship housing at universities, but I said I would email people I knew in the area and post here. </p>

<p>Do any of you who live in Boston (or the surrounding area) know of anyone who is looking to rent out a room in their home or sublet an apartment (or room in an apartment) from early June through mid-August? Or have any of you had children who have secured housing in Boston for the summer? Any other ideas?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>MIT fraternities rent rooms for the summer really cheaply</p>

<p>KatMT,
I have a son who has secured summer housing in the Boston area during the last 3 summers. One place to check is Lesley University (in Cambridge) summer housing. There are also Tufts University students who sublet their off-campus apartments for the summer. (In Somerville) Both of these locations are on the Red Line which is very reliable, and she would have to transfer to the Green Line probably. Here are links to the appropriate sites:

<p>Thanks to all who posted info and sent PMs. My student just let me know that she found a great sublet for the summer as a result of all the info I was able to forward on to her from all of you. Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi KatMT,</p>

<p>If I may ask, did you come across any other information than posted in this thread that may be helpful in finding an apartment to sublet or housing for this summer in the cambridge area? I am also a student looking for housing in a safe and T accessible area.</p>

<p>Will PM you also.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
