Summer Intern Housing

Cedar Hall South

Welcome to Johnson & Wales University’s Charlotte Campus summer intern housing program at Cedar Hall South. Located just 7 blocks from Uptown Charlotte, this location is the perfect housing option for a college student participating in a summer internship program.

Residents should be able to complete all of their daily tasks without a vehicle. Amenities in walking distance include restaurants, a Harris Teeter grocery store, numerous dry cleaners, a CVS Pharmacy, along with a variety of sports and entertainment establishments. The Gold Line street car is one block away and provides access to Uptown and surrounding communities.

Finding affordable and safe housing in a center city urban environment during the summer months can be a challenging task. Our goal at JWU is to make this process smooth and your stay with us an enjoyable one.
