Accommodation for your Internship

Just wanted to make a small note on this matter as I know many people are struggling with accommodation.

Unless you are of the lucky few that actually have family or friends near where you will be working this summer you are going to need to rent a place. Again, if you’re lucky enough, use your contacts. If not then there are many ways you can find a place. An easy start is the Internet. There are lots of brilliant sites I have come across so I will just name a few.

Gumtree: Simple and easy site to use, find what you want from other people

Nestoria: A comprehensive selection of available properties with a lot of nifty features such as a map, which tells you the nearest train stations, health centres, car parks etc.

For example, if you want to rent a flat in canary wharf - I think some of us may need to rent elsewhere considering those prices!!

The list goes on, but the key is to start looking as early as possible. I have recently found out the some university halls have already been filled up and some only have places available from July even though internships usually start in June!
