For chemical engineering internships it was customary and expected for the employer to provide housing as well as some relocation money, in addition to wages. I think lack of housing assistance is generally true of the sciences (biology, chemistry, etc) but less true for engineering. Computer science internships seem to be highly variable and not have any established industry-wide norms for internships.
