Albuquerque, New Mexico

Summer 2020 Update: All non-local students will participate in a virtual internship. If you are not local to New Mexico, please do not arrange housing for summer 2020.

All housing arrangements need to be made on your own. Unfortunately, Sandia's Student Internship Program is unable to make housing arrangements but we have provided the following possible options. Before you commit to any housing agreement, be sure to ask about short-term (2-4 months) leasing options and any additional fees (e.g., application, deposit, premiums) that may be required as part of the agreement. As you make arrangements, inform the rental agent that you are an intern at Sandia National Laboratories.
