I plan to live in a residence hall next fall. Each residence hall room or residence apartment at UMBC has its own mailbox, located at hall and apartment lobby desk areas. More and more, students also use their E-mail accounts to stay in touch with friends and family around the world. Apartment kitchens have stovetop burners, a refrigerator, and either a microwave or an oven.
Kitchens also have a large sink and cabinets.
Residents of Chesapeake, Patapsco, Susquehanna and Erickson should make plans to stay elsewhere during Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break periods. Students are assigned in order of their application date and as space is available. If a particular housing option is full at the time you are offered a contract, you may be assigned housing somewhere else. Students may call or write Residential Life and ask to be placed on a waiting list for their first choice. If space becomes available through late cancellations, you will be contacted and offered your first choice.
