Intern Housing

Mason and Non-Mason students can apply to Summer intern housing at: https://gmu.starrezhousing.com/StarRezPortalSummer.. Room assignment choices are on a first-come basis. If you would like to room with or be in the same apartment with someone you know, you will both need to apply for housing at the same time. We do not assign summer housing spaces.

Intern housing will be in Liberty Square. Overflow intern housing will be in Potomac Heights or another similar style residence hall.

Summer intern housing is available for those who will be interning in or around the George Mason University campus and the DMV area. All Summer interns must be a student at some university (have a school email address) and proof of internship is required when applying for summer intern housing. Summer intern housing is also available for George Mason University students who will be taking at least one class during the summer. We do require a minimum stay of 4 weeks and maximum of 9 weeks for summer intern housing.

Interns will reside in an apartment with 2-4 apartment-mates depending on the unit layout and size. All apartments will have the following areas: kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. Apartments will have a single-occupancy or double-occupancy bedroom room. All utilities, Wi-Fi, and on-site laundry are included. 

**Please note occupancy rates refer to bedrooms

George Mason University will have the option for Summer interns to select Gender Inclusive housing. Mason Housing & Residence Life is proud to offer a living environment that recognizes the identities of interns outside the gender binary. When applying for housing, interns will select Male or Female in the application and complete the process of signing the agreement but indicate they wish to live in gender inclusive housing by emailing stay@gmu.edu. Gender inclusive housing means that interns from all gender identities and expressions may choose to live together in a shared apartment and/or bedroom. Interns who indicate wanting to live in gender inclusive housing will only live with other interns who have selected gender inclusive housing, regardless of biological sex or gender. Interns who have selected Male or Female in their application, and do not email indicating wanting GI Housing, will only be housed with the other interns of the gender they selected. Everyone who wants to live in gender inclusive housing will be required to email stay@gmu.edu to make sure they understand their selection and to confirm their decision to live in gender inclusive housing. We will ensure that someone will reach out to you via email to discuss your Gender Inclusive housing preferences and to confirm your room assignment.
