  • Housing Options for Students Interning in Washington, DC
    Housing Options for Students Interning in Washington, DC If you are planning on interning in the nation’s capital over the summer, this guide is for you. Like most major cities, cost of living is high in Washington, DC; however, housing costs typically decrease the farther you are from the downtown area. It is important to consider higher commuting fees you will be paying by living farther away, so it may end up being worth it and less expensive in the long run to live in the city. Also, don’t forget about Washington, D.C.’s 14.5% tax on short-term housing, which is not included in the prices listed below unless otherwise noted. There is limited and expensive city parking, so most interns make use of the city’s exten- sive Metro bus and rail system. The city is arranged in quadrants—NW, NE, SE and SW—with the Capitol building at the center of them. It is important to keep in mind not only proximity to your internship, but also proximity to the city-center for social and networking oppurtunities. Make sure to start planning early! As the summer approaches, housing options tend to fill up. Besides the options below, many students use Facebook pages to rent rooms from stu- dents at DC universities (ex. American University Housing, Sublets & Roommates) **The following prices and details listed below are for Summer 2017, and are sub- ject to change in following years.** Student Housing Options American University 4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20016 Phone: 202-885-3370 american.edu/ocl/housing/ucgs/summerinternhousing.cfm 6 week min.
