Join us at Menlo College this summer while you complete your local internship! Menlo is conveniently located in Atherton, California, on the San Francisco Peninsula, right in the middle of Silicon Valley. Enjoy our serene, park-like campus and live among more than 250 other college students and interns from around the world.
Menlo College offers summer housing in three on-campus residence halls and across two price levels to suit your budget and preferences. Reserve your room for the duration of your internship, or come early and stay late and explore the Bay Area! Space is very limited for each option, so please don’t hesitate to register and pay your deposit to claim your choice of room for Summer 2026. This housing is popular and will sell out quickly. A waitlist will be created after all spots are filled.
