Incoming exchange students will be housed in on-campus accommodation. Visiting exchange students are housed in UMBC’s residence halls or apartments. ISEP students living in any housing other than Harbor Hall will be charged an additional fee. Students have a shared room and share living and bath facilities with other UMBC students (in apartments students have a private bedroom and there are some private bedrooms in Harbor Hall). All residential communities at UMBC are within easy walking distance of all campus buildings. Students are required to purchase a meal plan (residence halls only) those staying for a full academic year are also required to purchase a supplemental meal-plan for the January term.
You should plan to bring your own bed linens and towels etc. Beds at UMBC are sized as extra-long twin.
