Advice: Summer Housing for Internship

SGT Matt Nickeson — Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:14:39 -0400

I am a first year MBA Candidate at Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, NC. This summer I will be interning with PwC in their Atlanta office located in midtown near Peachtree St NE and 12th. I am not at all familiar with the Atlanta area and was hoping that I could get some advice on the area in general and specifically housing. My biggest problem is that I will only be there from mid-June to Mid-Aug. Any information would help.

Renting is best if you are only going to be there a short time. Since you will be a student, an apartment would be best so that you don't have to worry about yard work. I always prefer places with a good security gate so I sleep peacefully at night. I also like complexes with a pool and a gym so I can work out. Some place near the office so that you can walk to work will save you gas and keep you in shape.

Late reply, but hope this advice is helpful for others in similar situation. During my summer internship also way back in 2014, I sub-leased an apartment. I was in San Diego, California and found an ad on Craigslist. I lived in a deployed USMC Reserve NCO's place while he was in Afghanistan. While some of my peers were living in communal housing, I had a one bedroom place all to myself. For future summer internships, Craigslist can be a place to find temporary housing.
