Struggling to Find Accommodation for Bournemouth J.P.Morgan Internship

I'm wondering whether anyone can give me some advice.

I am working for J.P.Morgan in Bournemouth over the summer as an intern and I'm struggling to find any accommodation. I've rung up many letting agencies and they've all said their properties can be let for 6 months minimum. I can't find anywhere that will let me stay for only 3 months.

Anyone been in/is in the same position? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you tried contacting Bournemouth Uni and seeing if you can stay in student halls over the summer? Most unis let out student rooms in halls at a reduced price over the summer.

I have but they told me they only let it out from 1st July and I need to move to Bournemouth around a week before that so I'm seeing if there are any other options :/

Hotel/B&B for a week. Or holiday cottage. Not exactly rocket science.

Took me all of 10 seconds.

How rude.

I know I can stay in a B&B for a week but that would involve me eating out every night because I'd have no where to make food = very expensive.

And have you seen the prices of holiday cottages? I'm glad you're made of money but I'm certainly not

Thanks but not really an option. I wish to do my grad scheme there the following year. If I can't even find my own accommodation then what does that say about me as a future leader.

Prince, you weren't rejected by JMP were you? Oh my god, you were!

I would agree with Samba and you don't have to eat out every night. Even if you do you can go to places like Wetherspoons and get a fairly decent meal for a fiver.

Christ.

Ring them, tell them what you plan to do e.g. B&B for a week followed by uni accomodation. Then ask them if they have any better alternatives that they could suggest and stress that money is a genuine issue for you.

If you really think that doing something such as this would have negative implications on your application for a graduate scheme the following year then you clearly do not intend on impressing during your internship.
