Shome | 29 followers on LinkedIn. Housing for students, by students -- there's no place like Shome. | There are more than 1.7 million student internships every year. Of these, a significant portion take place during the summer, and safe, affordable housing is a universal need for all summer students who intern away from home. Shome, or “short home,” builds on the inadequacies of existing systems to provide a listing service that matches up interns who need housing with students who are looking for summer subletters, universities with empty dorms, and apartment complexes with summer vacancies.
