Oxy (shorthand for "Occidental College") welcomes LA-bound interns to spend the summer with us. You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: Oxy’s small campus provides an affordable, clean and laid-back home-base while you take care of business on weekdays. When you’re ready to unwind, our hip urban location offers easy access to every epic scene Los Angeles has to offer. Whether your goal is an in-depth comparison of authentic ramen noodles, or to visit every beach in LA (impossible!), living at Oxy puts it all within reach.
