Summer Internship Housing
Summer at Cedar Hall South
Interning in Charlotte, N.C. this summer? You can live seven blocks from uptown, in a residence hall on JWU’s Charlotte Campus — open to students from any college or university.
You won’t need a car. Groceries, pharmacies, restaurants and dry cleaners are all within walking distance, and the CityLYNX Gold Line streetcar stops a block away, which puts uptown offices and the rest of the city within easy reach. Finding summer housing in a city center is usually the hardest part of taking an internship. This is the part we can make simple.
