Housing

All Scholar Interns live as a community in the Adagio Apartments, located 10 minutes by bus or car from downtown Sacramento. The facilities are wonderful and fully furnished -- with four students per two bedroom apartment unit. More details here!

For students who would find this to be an undue hardship, it is possible to submit a Housing Exemption Request form with the application package.

Housing generally costs about $2200 per student for a 10 week term.
