Many of these waters were named by or for native Maryland Indians, so if you're not from Maryland, it may take a while to master the names. All of our residence halls are similar and consist of suites of two rooms joined by a connecting bathroom. All rooms have wall phones and each room has its own phone number. Rooms are furnished with one bed, wardrobe or closet, desk, and chair for each person assigned to the room. All rooms and hallways in these buildings are carpeted.
Most rooms are doubles, with a limited number of singles and triples also available in the building.
A cable television hook-up is available in each residence hall room. High-speed Ethernet data connectivity is available for each student in a single, double or triple room. Susquehanna Hall Susquehanna, UMBC's first residence hall, opened to house students in the fall of 1970, just four years after the institution opened. This building houses the Scholars Floors and one limited visitation floor. In the spring of 1971, Chesapeake Hall's North wing opened to house residents, while the South wing was reserved for offices housing Admissions, Humanities faculty, and Health Services.
