THE PENDULUM STYLE WEDNESDAY. APRIL 21. 2010 // PAGE 15 How to: Find internship housing in your city Bonnie Efird Reporter Resume? Check. Cover letter? Check. Reference letter? Check. Internship? Check. Excitement for a new opportunity? Check. Place to live while interning? Uh oh. Attention Los Angeles, New York City and Atlanta interns: where are you living this summer? Finding internship housing can be harder than it seems, especially in big cities like Los Angeles, New York City and Atlanta. Take a deep breath. There are plenty of sources out there. You just have to know how to use them. Start Here Sublet.com — Whether you’re interning on the East Coast or the West Coast, Sublet, com is a perfect Web site for college interns. Sublet allows you to search for apartments for rent, houses for rent, rooms for rent and can even pair you up with a roommate. The site is not just for sublets, and you can search for short-term and long-term rentals. Sublet is a full-service rental Web site that makes your search easy and it contains listings for cities all over the world. You can post your own listings on it, too. InternshipHousing.org — This Web site specializes in finding affordable and intern- friendly housing, no matter what time of the year. lnternshipHousing.org provides access to databases with private-owner listings, saving you money. Like Sublet.com, it also supplies a roommate matching service. The only downfall to this Web site is that you must get a password from your employer to log-in. Ask your boss at your internship if they use InternshipHousing.org. No Luck? If you've tried both Web sites but had no luck, don’t give up yet. Let’s get more specific. Atlanta Interns: The Clairmont campus of Emory College offers housing to students pursuing internships in Atlanta. The apartments are located in the Druid Hills community of .Atlanta and are just minutes away from downtown .Atlanta and Buckhead. Applications are on a first-come-first-serve basis.

NYC Interns: New York City has abundant internship housing options. If you have no luck with other housing search engines, look into these: StudentHousing.org — A great place to start for New York City students, grad students and interns.
