Residence Life
Deciding where to live on campus is an important decision. To make it a little easier, we offer a variety of living environments. Students will be placed in a residential area based on their preferences and room type availability. All first-year placements are done using a computer program that assigns students based on their housing application. Therefore all incoming students who pay their deposit by the May 1 deadline have an equal chance of getting their first choice of room type.
For more information, visit the office of student life. A majority of first-year students will reside in double rooms or special interest housing.

Students will have the opportunity to visit several of Baltimore's diverse neighborhoods and will learn about the strengths and challenges facing our city.
- Substance-Free Room Designations - Students can choose to live in a room where they and their roommates choose not to use alcohol and tobacco. This option allows students who share similar beliefs to establish exepectations for a substance-free lifestyle within their living area.
