On- and Off- Campus Housing
University of Maryland provides services to students to assist with this process. The availability of on-campus housing for graduate and professional students is limited. However, the completion of all necessary procedures for obtaining housing is the responsibility of the student.
In addition to the housing available on campus, a wide variety of housing is available off campus. To learn more about these opportunities you should visit Community Housing. You may also visit Craigslist* to browse non-commercial housing options offered by people, as well as listings of students seeking roommates or housemates. You may also visit our IGSF Facebook page and post your request for room and roommates.

* We are not responsible for any trade or purchase in Craigslist. Please make sure that you contact with a real and right person in Craigslist before making any decision.
