Our son was admitted to the UMD College Park Scholars program. If he chooses to live in a dormitory, will he live with other College Park Scholars? And is the dormitory residency required to be a participant in the program?
@DeMaRo - There are 12 different Scholars Programs.
The following link has more info

Each one has an associated dorm Depending on which one of the 12 your son is in, if he decides to live on campus, he would be assigned to that dorm.
In general, Freshmen do not get to select the dorm that they want.
Yes you will be placed in the dorm designated for your kid’s Scholars’ program. For example, Science, Discovery and Universe Scholars’ dorm is Centreville. However, if you decide to commute, that is acceptable, although on campus housing is strongly recommended.
