Today's Tip: Finding Housing
Housing options for new international students are dependent on whether you are entering the University as a new first-year student or as a transfer student. No matter where you live, you will still have an opportunity to become an active member of the University of Maryland community.
ON-CAMPUS HOUSING FOR
NEW (FRESHMEN)
UNDERGRADUATES
Students are assigned to rooms in the order in which requests are received. Preferences for roommates, areas of campus, specific buildings, etc. will be taken into account. For best consideration, all preferences should be submitted to
[email protected]
as soon as possible. Residence hall housing is renewable for a second year and typically for a third year for students who enter the residence halls as freshmen.
WHAT TO BRING
HOUSING FOR NEW UNDERGRADUATE
TRANSFER
STUDENTS
On-campus
housing cannot be guaranteed for transfer students. If you are interested in living in the residence halls, you should request residence hall housing by completing the housing and dining online form, on the Resident Life website:
https://mydrl.umd.edu/MyDRL3/Student/HousingAgreement/Term.aspx
, as soon as possible. All housing requests are initially placed on a wait list. If space becomes available, even into the early weeks of the semester, students can be moved off the wait list and assigned a room and roommate.
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. The
OCH DATABASE:
is a housing search database with available area rentals & Roommate Finder.
Know your rights, and BE SAFE:
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.
