Each duplex consists of a kitchen, a living room and three bedrooms. They house three or four interns, Coleman said. The units are available from May 14 to Aug. 7. Because of their proximity to the city, the duplexes have become a popular location for those searching for living arrangements on student budgets. Saito was referred to Penn State Harrisburg by United Parcel Service, where he is going to be an intern.
Most interns hear about the campus housing from companies they are working for.
They come from a variety of schools, including Juniata College and Rutgers University. Coleman said that as long as spaces are available and the students are affiliated with a school or company, they can arrange to live in the complex. About 10 to 70 interns, working for state departments and agencies, Hershey Entertainment and Resort Company, United Parcel Service and other companies, usually live at the Heights during the summer, Coleman said.
