Venue description

The College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences at UMBC includes the departments of biological sciences, chemistry and biochemistry, mathematics and statistics, and physics. The faculties continue to attract significant external funding in a very challenging environment and the graduates continued to be admitted to top graduate and professional schools or to find exciting jobs in industry, government or academia. The College continues to be committed to serving and enhancing the academic and wider educational interests of its undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff especially by seeking new revenue sources to augment those provided by the State and tuition. Immediate goals are to increase the number and value of scholarships for undergraduates and assistantships for graduate students, to fund endowed chairs for many outstanding faculties, to establish core research facilities with state of the art equipment, and to provide additional help for the support staff.

Accommodation details

Residential Life (RL) is responsible for operating and maintaining the residential facilities as well as coordinating programs and services for approximately 3,900 students who live on campus. Residents may choose to live in one of several communities on campus. Freshmen who live on campus are required to live in one of five residence halls (Chesapeake, Patapsco, Potomac, Susquehanna, and Erickson). Upper-class students may apply to live in the halls, or in one of three apartment communities. All of the facilities are complete with: carpeting, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and semi-private bathrooms shared by no more than five people. Students who need housing during semester breaks can choose Potomac Hall, which is designated as continuous occupancy. Several other special lifestyle options and living learning communities are tailored to meet student's interests and needs. All of the residence halls are similar and consist of suites of two rooms joined by a connecting bathroom. All rooms have phones with their own phone number and voice-mail. 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. On-campus housing for graduate students is available in the new Walker Avenue Apartments on the corner of Walker Avenue and Hilltop Circle. One wing of the apartment complex is available for graduate students. These are 2- or 4-bedroom fully furnished apartment suites. Residential Life provides temporary housing accommodations in the Hillside Apartment Community to UMBC graduate students who will be participating in campus orientation programs.
