Program Housing
Our program housing is located in the Capitol Yards neighborhood of Washington, DC — just 6-minute walk to the Navy Yard Metro station (subway) or an 11-minute walk to the Capitol South Metro station.
While living in our fully furnished apartments, you'll meet peers from across the country, create an instant community and lifelong friendships, and benefit from living in a convenient location with easy access to public transportation. Living with the Washington Internship Institute gives you the opportunity to grow and experience life as an independent young professional.

Housing is a required piece of our study-away program. WII’s provided apartments are two bedroom, two bathroom layouts accommodating four students each. There are no single rooms available. Students who have a medical or personal reason to do so, may apply for a housing exemption at the time of their application. Students that require a medical single and plan to seek out housing in DC that can accommodate this need, will be required to provide WII with documentation of their campus-approved medical housing accommodations as part of the application process. Students requesting an exemption to live with local family or friends for the semester will be required to provide WII with their local address at the time of application. Housing commitments are binding. Changes made to a student’s housing commitment before the application deadline may result in a $500 cancellation fee. There are no changes to the housing commitment after the application deadline has passed.
