Our summer housing facilities in Boston offers the convenience and comfort necessary for an effortless move this summer.

Please read the sections below for more information on the summer internship housing for each Boston Program.

Housing at Emerson College

Discovery Internship students live in The Little Building, a state-of-the-art residence hall consisting of beautifully appointed suites. Students reside in 4-6 person suites containing single and double bedrooms, living room, and a private bathroom. The rooms feature study desks, high-speed internet service, air conditioning, and ample drawer and closet space. In-house facilities include a laundry room, television/DVD lounges, fitness center, dining hall, and Discovery Internships summer offices.

Location

Located in the heart of Boston, on the southeast end of Boston Common, Emerson College is one of “America’s Top Colleges” according to Forbes Magazine.  It is the nation’s premiere institution in higher education devoted to communication and the arts. The campus is home to WERS-FM, the first noncommercial broadcaster in Boston; the historic 1,200-seat Cutler Majestic Theatre; and Ploughshares, the award-winning literary journal for new writing.

Health, Safety, and Security

The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern.  Doctor appointments are arranged with the Emerson College Student Health Services.  For 24 hour/emergency care, students are taken to the nearby Beth Israel or Children’s Hospital of Boston.  Discovery Internships staff make all medical appointments, transport and accompany students to medical facilities, obtain prescription medications and notify parents after medical visits.  Discovery Internships resident counselors live in the same secure residence hall as the students.  For additional safety, there are daily/nightly sign-ins and room checks.  In keeping with a collegiate atmosphere, students are permitted to walk on campus and in our “home area” of Boston, but are required to be in small groups.
