Housing
Unfortunately, the Bonner Summer Internship does not offer housing for interns. We encourage you to find your own housing and to communicate with us through the process, as we have some of our own contacts in the area. The area does not have much local transportation, so unless you have a car, we recommend living in downtown Princeton if possible. Below are some good places to start:
Here are two ways to find housing resources:
- TigerTrade http://point.princeton.edu/tigertrade/list_auctions.php?category=34
- This website is run through Princeton University, where you can find people who sell used appliance, furniture, etc. However the quality is not ensured. It is better for you to check the quality of goods at first.
- Princeton University Offcampus Housing http://offcampushousing.princeton.edu/index.php
- This website is offered for Princeton students and faculty to find offcampus housing. They mostly have pictures of the housing and are in good quality. But you need to sign up first and you have to wait for 1 or 2 days to get permission to log in this website and get access to information. If you need instant access, please ask Kelly Behrend (Program Associate) at kelly@bonner.org. for the username and password.
