JerseyHarold Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 My son will be doing a college internship for a company in Waltham, MA beginning June 1st and ending on December 31st. He would prefer not to share an off campus college apartment with other students. Can anyone recommend where we should look in or around Waltham (reasonable rent, areas to avoid, etc.). We would also appreciate any advice about the area in general, since we are not familiar with it. Thanks for any input. Harold Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 you would think the company offering the internship would have some information on local housing for these purposes...also Waltham chamber of commerece will have info of this nature on its online website.. Quote

I agree 100%. They are hiring 10 students from around the country and are not participating in finding a place for them to stay. Other companies go out of their way to make sure the kids are set-up properly. I may contact the University to see if they can put some pressure on this company to do something. Quote
Mark D Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Harold - if I had a spare room I'd be appy to host, but I can't seem to shake the 19 year old son or 23 year old daughter loose! I live 20 minutes west of Waltham. Happy to field a call if you want to chat. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks, Mark. I'll give you a ring as things firm up. My son is 19 as well. It's tough looking for a place to live via remote control! Quote
