Housing & Dining

Academics aside, when it comes to choosing a college, housing and dining can be big factors.

Where you sleep. There is a variety of housing options, both on and off-campus. The Department of Resident Life and Off Campus Housing Services help Terps find their home away from home.

Where you eat. From vegan cuisine to exotic ethnic menus and comfort-food favorites, UMD’s Department of Dining Services meets the dining needs of our campus community.

Living-Learning Programs

Nothing connects students more than our highly regarded living-learning programs, where students with a common interest share residence halls, classrooms, faculty and friendships to dig deep into contemporary topics and get unique research experiences. Roughly half of all first-year students find their niche in one of these programs. To be considered for a living-learning program, you must apply for freshman admission by the November 1 early action deadline.
