There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot
A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build
A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance

Housing a student for the summer
Over the summer (May 10 – August 27) we often have a number of students who stay locally to complete and internship or work off campus. These students are looking for affordable housing and aren’t able to sign a yearlong lease. If you have a room in your home that you’d be willing to rent to a student please send the following information to Rhonda King at rking@messiah.edu: your name, general location of you house, monthly or weekly cost, description of accommodations and your contact information. We will compile a list of housing options that students can view if they contact us. Putting your information on the list does not commit you to housing a student. We would encourage you to interview any interested students and if it’s helpful to seek references before offering to house them.
