Interns: Live, Work, and Explore Boston
Intern Housing at Boston University
Each summer, Boston becomes a hub of innovation, opportunity, and global energy—and 2026 will be no exception. As the city prepares to welcome visitors for major events such as FIFA World Cup 26™, Sail Boston®, and the 250th anniversary of the United States, Boston will also be home to thousands of students and young professionals spending the summer here for internships across a wide range of industries.
For interns working throughout the Greater Boston area, Boston University offers Intern Housing—a long-standing summer housing option that allows interns to live on campus while fully experiencing the city they’re working in.
From May 24 through August 9, interns can make BU their home base while gaining professional experience in one of the country’s most dynamic cities.
