You got the internship. You celebrated. You told everyone.
​
And then somewhere between the offer letter and the start date, you realized you have no idea where to live in Houston this summer.
​
Medstays has furnished apartments near the Texas Medical Center built for exactly this. Move-in ready, fully equipped, and available for the exact length of your program. No yearlong lease. No furniture shopping. Just show up and start your internship.
Why Health Students Choose Medstays for Summer Internships
The Texas Medical Center is one of the largest medical complexes in the world, home to over 60 institutions, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, UTHealth McGovern Medical School, Houston Methodist, and Memorial Hermann.
​
Every summer, hundreds of health students arrive in Houston for internship programs, research fellowships, clinical shadowing, and pre-med experiences. Most need housing that is ready the day they arrive and flexible enough to leave when the program ends.
Medstays was built specifically for this. Here is what sets us apart.
Fully Furnished
Every apartment is move-in ready before you land in Houston. Bed, desk, kitchen essentials, and high-speed WiFi included. Nothing to set up. Nothing to buy. Just walk in and start your program.

Student-Friendly Booking Process
No credit history required. No co-signer needed. We understand students are working on stipends and program funding, and our approval process is designed around your situation. Proof of program enrollment or an offer letter is typically all we need.
