The Department of Resident Life is responsible for management of the residence halls as well as the cultural, educational, recreational and social programs and activities for residential students.

While living in a Maryland residence hall is not required, nine of every ten students in Maryland's freshman class make the choice to live on campus. More than 80 professional and graduate staff and over 400 undergraduate student employees meet the needs of resident students.

There are rooms for approximately 8,250 undergraduate students in 36 residence halls. Three different styles of living are available to campus residents: traditional, suites and apartments. Within traditional housing, where most first year residents live, single, double, triple and quadruple room occupancy exists. Our nationally acclaimed living-learning programs include: Beyond the Classroom, CIVICUS, College Park Scholars, EcoHouse, Hinman CEOs, Gemstone, Global Communities, Jimenez-Porter Writers' House, Language House, Honors Humanities and University Honors. All of these programs add to the diversity of on-campus housing options. All rooms have a cable and data jack for each student.  One telephone jack is provided in each room.

First time freshmen are guaranteed on-campus housing provided they return their Maryland Planner including the Enrollment Confirmation and Housing and Dining Services Agreement along with the $400 enrollment deposit, by May 1. Transfer students who want to live on campus should complete the Maryland Planner as well and will be allotted housing on a space available basis.
