Medical care in the United States is not subsidized by the government, and is, therefore, very expensive. Individuals must pay for their own medical expenses. Because of the high cost, it is mandatory that all students and visitors have both accident and hospitalization insurance. There is a variety of insurance plans available in the International Student Services office. If you do not have insurance from home country, you must make arrangements for insurance in the United States.
All students have the option of purchasing a meal plan, or paying cash.
All students living on-campus must purchase a meal plan. You are encouraged to take advantage of these options. Coeducational facilities include Chesapeake, Chester, Choptank, St. Martin and Severn Halls. Dogwood Village, a modular housing complex, consists of 14 separate buildings, each housing 10 students in single rooms. The Halls are equipped with lounges offering television, conversational groupings and study areas.
