2025 APPLICATION RELEASE UPDATE:

The 2025 summer internship housing application will be released in January 2025. We thank you for your patience and appreciate your feedback. We understand housing is a big part of your internship process and hope to convey a streamlined application process as soon as we have everything finalized. 

Conditions of Occupancy: Cornish Commons is located on the campus of Cornish College of the Arts. Intern housing is available to any person who was enrolled at an accredited college or university during, immediately previous term/semester, or upcoming term/semester individuals. You do not need to be enrolled at Cornish College of the Arts. As part of the application process, you will have to provide a .edu email address as verification that you are a student at a college or university.

Availability: Cornish Commons is available for housing on a rolling basis for our summer session (May-Aug). After we have received your application with arrival and departure dates, we will confirm space availability for those dates. 

There is no application fee and the contract will follow your application, so there is no risk in applying!

Contract: Once we have received and processed your application, we will send a contract for you to sign. You should expect the contract about ten (10) business days after submitting your application. 

Rent Payment: The rent payment for your entire stay is due on or before arrival; before you check-in to your room. The Flat Rate for your Summer Stay will be included on your initial signed contract. We have a strict no pay, no key policy at check-in. All residents will be able to submit payment multiple ways including: online payments (card, bank information) or in person (check only). 

Roommates: If you select a double or triple room and have a roommate that will also be staying at Cornish Commons, please note your roommate on your application. All contracts are individual. If both roommates each sign their respective contracts, we will work to pair them together as roommates. If only one roommate completes a contract, or roommates are offered different room types, we will not be able to accommodate that roommate request. 

Room Furnishings: Your room comes furnished with a bed frame, extra long twin mattress, chair, desk and dresser. It does not include linens. If you need linens or other room items, there is a Target within walking distance of Cornish Commons.

Rooms without a kitchenette feature a MicroFridge, which is a combination of microwave and mini-fridge. 

Please check out the What to Bring page for more information. 

Parking/Transportation: We do not have onsite parking. However, we are centrally located in downtown Seattle with easy access to the SoundTransit system which includes buses, Link light rail, streetcars, and the Washington State Ferry system. If you do want to bring a vehicle, parking in a downtown garage will cost about $250 a month. There are a few parking garages near Cornish Commons. We do not have any affiliation or discounts with any garages and often suggest a google search and reviews of the area.
