[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]WISH<\/em> Expanding Its Housing Dominance in 2019, Enabling More Students to Pursue Their DC Intern Dreams<\/em><\/p>\n

(WASHINGTON, DC)<\/strong> \u2013 For every college student who gets their dream internship in Washington DC, there are countless others unable to make the journey. One of the main obstacles preventing more students from interning in DC is the high cost of housing.\u00a0 Washington Intern Student Housing (WISH) has given tens of thousands of interns a chance to make their dreams come true by offering the largest, safest and most affordable intern-only housing community in Washington DC.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of DC interns have called WISH their home. WISH is an intern only community offering over 30 rowhouses, townhomes and apartments in and around Capitol Hill to students from coast-to-coast, and around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than 25 years ago, WISH started by accident, when Marquette University asked their alumna, our founder for help.\u00a0 They had DC bound interns who couldn\u2019t find housing that was affordable and for only a semester.\u00a0 Since then, WISH has become the largest, safest and most affordable intern-only housing community in Washington DC,\u201d said Vice President of School Partnerships & Student Engagement.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re excited to announce that in 2019, WISH will continue to expand its housing inventory.\u00a0 When we grow, it means more students from all socio-economic backgrounds can afford housing in DC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For many WISH students, it\u2019s the first time coming to Washington or a big city, which is exciting and scary for them and their parents. WISH averages roughly 2700 students a year, accommodating every socio-economic background resulting in a diversified community of DC interns.\u00a0 Compared to other organizations, WISH\u2019s housing costs per semester are lower and its more than just fully furnished housing. \u00a0WISH provides events weekly that foster professional development and social networking.\u00a0 Not only does WISH provide housing, it is the source of forging relationships that last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

At WISH students do not pay for space they are not using.\u00a0 Private apartments, single occupancy bedrooms through quad-occupancy bedrooms are available.\u00a0 This enables students from all socio-economic backgrounds to live in our nation\u2019s capitol as we have spaces that fit any budgets.\u00a0 If you are utilizing financial aid for school, WISH can help.\u00a0 WISH offers easy payment plans that work within the timing of financial aid disbursements.<\/p>\n

WISH partners with schools small or large.\u00a0 Some schools have established programs that send their students on pre-determined semesters.\u00a0 Then there are students from others schools that come on their own.\u00a0 The result is a fantastic community that represents over 180 colleges and universities from all over the world every semester.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cRegardless of whether it\u2019s fall, spring or summer, WISH is a melting pot of diversity that\u2019s empowering our students; enabling them to achieve their internship, academic and ultimately, professional goals,\u201d said VP.\u00a0 \u201cWe may not be able to get you a room at the White House, but we\u2019re darn close, and that\u2019s very exciting to our students and their schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
