Each residence hall used for our intern summer housing program has the following standard features:

• Air-conditioning
• Basic furnishings (bed, dresser, desk, desk chair)
• Microwave and mini-fridge in every room
• Free laundry
• Free parking

This summer we will be using Bell-Young Hall and Berkus Hall. Each hall has its own unique features.

Bell-Young Hall

This hall is a traditional-style residence hall that offers 3 communal restrooms (1 per floor), 2 lounges, and access to a kitchen.

Berkus Hall

This hall is a hotel-style residence hall that offers a private bathroom in every room and lounge access.

Room Options & Pricing

• Single: 1 person per room = $4,462.64 for 5-weeks / $913.12 per additional week
• Shared: 2 - 3 persons per room  = $3,083.60 for 5-weeks / $629.20 per additional week

Interns will request where they prefer to stay during the application process. Housing selections are based on a couple of things: first-come, first-serve, intern’s check-in/check-out dates, roommate's check-in/check-out dates, etc. For example, if an intern’s check-out date is after SAT 8/2, they will be placed in Bell-Young Hall, no matter how early they applied. Interns will be notified 10 days before check-in of where they will be housed, along with directions to the residence hall.

If I don’t have a roommate, do you choose for me? How is my roommate assigned?
