Housing
If you are co-oping or interning in metro Atlanta, you may live in campus housing, if available. Students working outside the area will find that most employers offer some level of housing assistance. Such assistance ranges from providing students with a list of apartments in the area to arranging furnished housing and paying for a portion of the expenses. Your employer may give you the names of other co-ops working in the same location to help you find housing options and roommates.
If you are working outside the Atlanta area, your advisor will give you a form to take to the campus housing office which will allow you to cancel your housing contract without penalty and to get a refund for your housing deposit. If you plan to co-op or intern during a given semester but are not sure you will get a job, register for classes and sign up for housing as a back-up plan. All can be easily reversed if you are hired.
Remember to have your mail forwarded if you move for your co-op job or internship. If you currently have a campus address, enter your forwarding address at http://studentcenter.gatech.edu/post_office/student_mail.htm. If you currently have an off-campus address, enter your temporary forwarding address at the US Postal Service site: https://moversguide.usps.com/?referral=USPS
