The Residence Life program promotes a living-learning philosophy that encompasses community living in an educational and cultural setting. Community living helps to provide personal growth, support and the assurances that a student needs during his/her college years. The residential life philosophy at UMD incorporates the following concepts:
- A safe and secure environment where students are held accountable for their behavior and actions;
- Diversity and interdependence in facilities and personnel;
- Community living;
- Student development and cultural awareness enhanced through the living-learning process.
- Personal development in UMD residences is at the heart of an environment where self-discipline prevails.
- We promote personal and cultural awareness in the residential community.
On-campus living provides three different residence options:
