| GlobaLinks Learning Abroad pre-arranges housing for interns prior to arrival and the housing cost is included in the program fees (meals not included). Housing for the internship program varies with each intake and the internship locations that we offer. Numerous factors affect the types of accommodation in which students are placed. These include: cost, program length, location, number of interns, and availability.
Our main goal is to provide safe, secure, clean, reasonably priced accommodation that allows us to provide the internship program at a reasonable price. Housing is almost always arranged in either a shared apartment or studio. Because this is an international internship program, the emphasis is not on housing students with other Americans, but rather integrating students into the host culture and placing students as close as possible to their internship site.
Amenities with each housing placement will vary. Interns may have additional expenses for utilities, bed linens, food, toiletries, paper products, and cleaning supplies. In all housing arrangements, television, cable, and internet may not be available or may be available at an additional cost. We strive to place interns as close to the internship site as possible. You should expect a 30-45 minute, door-to-door commute time, though actual times can be longer. Public transportation is an additional cost. You will receive your specific housing arrangement details after acceptance and before departure. Tour the Shanghai and Hong Kong housing with this photo slideshow: |
