French women only act "hard to get".

because its easier to be a ---meecrob---.

French women could use a ---meecrob--- most of the time.

I learned this lesson from a place I was doing temp work with while finishing my last college class. I was telling my boss about an interview I had that was 6 hours away. She asked if they were putting me up and paying my travel expenses. I said no of course - why would they do that? She explained that it is a common business courtesy. You don't want to work for places that don't extend that kind of courtesy. She was right.
That being said, if this is a temp internship then all bets may be off. If they are taking you in with even the remotest possibility of you committing to them full time after graduation, then standard travel/accomodation courtesies should apply.
Also of note - the place I worked mentioned here also held local apartments that were supplied to workers who were brought in from out of town/country. Even the summer college interns were offered these apartments. I lived in one for 3 months after I got married.

OTOH, I've worked for several major corporations that would laugh in your face and hire someone else if you even asked for that.
