Off-Campus Housing

The Off-Campus Housing Services office is UMD's office that supports you in your housing search. You can visit them on your arrival in the Student Union. 

They also have a number of online tools, such as:
-
OCH  DATABASE:   A housing search database with available area rentals
- Roommate Finder   : An online service that helps you get connected with other students
 
Whether you use the University of Maryland's Off-Campus Housing Services or not, make sure to take a look at their
 information  and remember never to send any money until you have seen the accommodations and signed a lease. The link below provides tips and resources you may find helpful.
