Summer Housing Resources in the U.S. and Abroad

The following tips and list of housing resources by City are compiled annually based on referrals from Yale students and alums.

When starting your housing search, check with classmates and friends who will be in the same area as you may be able to share an apartment or sublet. Many colleges and universities open up residence halls for short-term, affordable rentals to students during the summer; check college websites or contact institutions about housing. College newspapers may also list information on student-friendly apartments or sublets.

Prepare a budget to determine how much you can afford to spend on housing. If you choose to share space, talk about financial limitations to assure you are in agreement. Before signing any rental or sublet agreements, be sure to read contracts and be clear about the terms. If you are looking outside university housing, consider arriving before the start of your experience to allow you time to physically see properties.

General Resources

Note: These housing resources have been found helpful by previous Yale students and alums. OCS will not include a resource unless it was referred and used by a member of the Yale community. This list is far from comprehensive and the appearance of a resource on this list does not imply any endorsement from Yale University or the Office of Career Strategy. The Office of Career Strategy provides these resources as a convenience, does not vet them, and makes no representations as to the qualifications or experience of the resources. Students must perform their due diligence and use their discretion and judgment when making decisions about housing. Students are also encouraged to ask their employers, program, or other contacts directly about additional resources.
