The most common challenge students report when securing temporary internship housing is the high cost associated with setting up housing for a brief time. As a result, utilizing on-campus short-term housing through a college or university in the city where you will be interning can help reduce some financial costs. Our Temporary Internship Housing Guide is designed to connect you to a curated list highlighting higher education institutions across the U.S. that offer temporary internship housing to college students.
The University Career Center wants all students to be successful regardless of any financial circumstances. Professional attire from the Wildcat Wardrobe helps make a solid first impression when meeting with professionals and employers in networking and recruiting conversations. All students are welcome to try on clothing in the dressing room and take the items home free of charge. We encourage students to take their time browsing the Wildcat Wardrobe to find items they like. To shop the Wildcat Wardrobe, students can schedule an appointment on Handshake.
