Please be sure your parents check their homeowner's insurance to have your property adequately covered. Students who are seniors, part time, married or above the age of 24 are permitted to live off campus. Also, students who live with their parents in the vicinity do not have to live on campus. First-year students are not permitted to have cars on campus. There is no bus service in Westminster, but due to the fact that WMC is a small college, students get to know each other in a short period of time.
Most students carpool into town, to the metro or into Baltimore.
WMC has attempted to develop a degree of flexibility to accommodate varying lifestyles. As a result, we have an open visitation policy. We have confidence in the ability and inclination of students to make mature decisions regarding their social behavior. We also believe that no individual has the right to infringe upon another's freedom, privacy, and safety and that students are willing to accept both the rights and responsibilities of such a policy. Our policy should not be construed as permission for members of the opposite gender to sleep overnight or to conduct themselves in such a way as to invade another individual's privacy.
