I was accepted to Maryland but for Spring Semester. I’m considering doing Freshman Connection to start in the fall. If I do I do this program will I recieve dorm housing will I get dorm housing with all freshman or just the specific people of this program? If I do this program I don’t want to be put in a situation where I am segregated from the fall 2015 freshmen. Can anyone explain this to me?
these are good questions for the UMD=CP forum, OP. ask @maryversity to help you. she knows almost everything UMD.
I was also admitted for the spring semester with a waitlist for fall. I looked heavily into freshman connection because I have serious doubts about getting off the waitlist. In years past students in freshman connection had to live off campus, either this year or last this has changed. Both my siblings go to umd and they’ve opened new housing in several areas so as long as you commit to spring semester you can live in ON CAMPUS housing while you do freshman connection. This is what I plan to do although I would rather get off the waitlist because honestly don’t want to take classes late in the day. Your room mate may be someone not in freshmen connection but I read on the fc website that they often pair you with someone from the program because you have similar schedules. The rest of the people in the dorm could/probably would be completely random regular fall semester students.
