<p>so no help with housing, how can you find housing for 3 months?</p>
<p>Winter might be tricky. Many students stay in campus housing for the summer (GWU, GeorgetownâŠ) I would have your child contact the the Organization providing the internship and see if they have any housing leads. they might also want to see which areas are convenient for commuting.</p>

<p>Thanks infrmdmom, that is very helpful. -MPI</p>
<p>my s was in nyc for spring and summer terms for two paid (but not a lot) internships. It was a real trick for him to find housing because the terms for Dartmouth are a lot different from almost every other academic calendar. He ended up using Craigâs List to sublet an apartment which was a bit scary and I ended up subsidizing him-good internships, but Dartmouth gave him no help whatsoever. None</p>
<p>Sorry about that Bâsom. My memory is that DSâs friends who had an internship (DC) that was affiliated with D lived with other D students in D sponsored housing. Those that found independent internships were on their own. Yes winter is tricky. I know he had friends who did it. I will ask about it next time we talk. Could be a while though, as I am holding a grudge over his not coming home for Thanksgiving.<br>
Magnum PI- Staying near good transportation is key. No metro near American or Georgetown.</p>
<p>S is interning with the State Dept. They provide a list of urls to sites and organizations that are good leads for finding housing. I looked through the listings at a couple of them a couple of weeks ago, and they were mostly looking for people to move in now. There appear to be lots of shared houses where 20-somethings with internships and DC jobs cycle through. There is also at least one youth hostel, there are rooms for rent in houses, etc, etc. The college dorms seem to be confined to summer rentals, as one might expect. The prices vary widely.</p>
<p>Do a lot of parents go to Homecoming? Seems like an exciting weekend, the bonfire, alumni, homecoming football gameâŠ</p>
<p>I think it is more for alums and current students.</p>
<p>Thatâs what I thought until I received an e-mail from Speaking of Dartmouth inviting parents to the events of Homecoming. But after viewing the scheduled events it is truly geared toward alumni and current students. Canât wait to see the pictures.</p>
<p>Weâre just going to the football game-we live close by and have another son at Harvard-seemed like it would be a good game to take in. I think the real fun is Friday night with the parade and the bonfire. You can watch the festivities on-line-it looks fun. Hope the weather cooperates.</p>
<p>Just sent off a box of ti leaves for S to take to the game. Hopefully they will help! The football team is having a great year, which I understand is quite a contrast to the past few years. Go Big Green!</p>
<p>I know some parents are going to be on campus Friday night for the bonfire. Wifeâs text Question to S, are you going to run around it? Answer: âOf course, its tradition.â I guess we should appreciate a short answer rather than no answerâŠ</p>
<p>I hope the Baker Webcam works tonight!</p>
<p>Do you know what time they do that? I know my daughter mentioned doing it. They run around that for alot of laps (100?)⊠wish I lived closer. D wants me to move closer so I can see her some weekends (although it almost seems she has something on most of the weekends). Probably just the occasional visit. Family all lives in Mass. I am the only one that lives a plane or 2 away. Thanksgiving will be our first visit, but even then they have finals a week or so later, so she wants to have some time to study. Have a great weekend all. </p>
<p>I havenât tried using that webcam, but will have to try to see the event.</p>
<p>I think itâs supposed to be 100 +class year, so 114 this year. But I think that few, if any, actually go the whole distance. It would take hours. Especially since the initial pace is very slow due to the crowdâaccording to S, the former runner, anyway. But itâs fun.</p>
<p>Yes, itâs 114 laps this year, which works out to about 10 miles. Only the dogged (and athletically-trained) few will run the whole distance. Last year my daughter said she ran about 30 laps. She would have run more but was still weak from having had the H1N1 flu. She said the upper classmen form an outer ring to good-naturedly prevent the freshmen from escaping too soon - so that they can continue shouting âWorst class ever!â at them.</p>
<p>The Dartmouth homecoming website says the speeches start at 8 pm and the bonfire at 8:30 pm. Hey parents who are there, how about a eyewitness update on CC? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, ditto. Just looked at the webcam see if it worked, and yes it does (on my laptop).</p>
<p>Just checked, traffic on the Dartmouth webcam is too heavy. No picture for us out here. I know it is raining and cold, but I am certain that everyone is having a great time. Have a Happy Homecoming and Halloween weekend fellow DPs.</p>
<p>I canât get on the Baker Cam but the Class of 1966 from the HAnover Inn has the bonfire</p>
<p>Very frustrating. Canât get an image on either Webcam!</p>
