The Career Management Center will assist you in security housing arrangements if your employer is beyond commuting distance. Furthermore, there is no deadline for doing this. If a student gets a job at the last minute, he or she will still be released from their dorm contract. Some employers offer subsidized housing or provide a housing allowance. Other employers have housing committees that assist students.
Some employers even have housing available at no cost to the students.
Many employers have multiple students participating in work assignments which means that students can share housing in the area. Still, employers may not offer any housing assistance. Make sure that you ask the employer during your interview about housing issues. Yes, in many cases. Based upon the student's performance during the work period, the employer may decide to hire the student full-time.
