<p>HSRunner - I had hear they were offerring the spring acceptance - if UMCP was your first choice - you might want to consider doing your local cc for credits that will transfer for the fall semester - the dorm they are offerring for the spring acceptances is very close to the sports action - and is a beautiful new high rise - with AC! I have a friend who is a sophomore who lived in Easton dorm last year as a freshman and hated it. He purposefully moved "off" campus to the new dorm and says it is awesome!</p>
<p>does anyone know anything about honors housing? and is it impossible to get a single?
thanks</p>
