Intern needs safe apartment in Herndon, VA

Where can an intern rent a safe and decent apartment for 3 months over the Summer? She will be working in Herndon, VA. She needs to keep it under $1000 per month. Everything in that area looks like it rents for well over $1000 per month. My head is spinning!
Does she need an apartment all to herself, or would a room in an apartment be fine? I would look that way. Either on craigslist or AirBNB (check out monthly rates on the details page, don't just multiply the daily by 30)

So sorry but NoVA is a land of high rents and the one-year lease. The only way your intern will be renting for a few months will be by joining a group-renting situation.

I would check out Fairfax since there are a lot of George Mason students and someone might be looking to sublet for the summer. She can easily stay under 1k getting a room in a house or townhouse, but studios are rare here and 1 bedrooms rent for more than that.

Look in the sublets and rooms/shares section of Craigslist. Also if there is an online community that is specific to a local college, I'm sure there are postings from students who want to sublet for the summer.

$1000 is very cheap for Herndon or anywhere in the greater DC metro area. I second the idea of finding a group house of college students, grad students, or new graduates who need a roommate.
