Housing Information

Department of Housing & Residence Life - 410-704-2516

Your Housing Assignment

Two roommates Housing assignments are sent early in August. This letter will contain your housing assignment, the name(s) and phone number(s) of your roommate(s), and other information about housing and moving in. Your housing packet will also contain your campus mailbox number. As a resident student, you are assigned a box in the Post Office (located in the University Union) where you can receive mail and packages. (Towson Run, Millennium Hall and West Village residents' postal boxes are located in their respective residence halls.) If you plan to commute to campus, you can rent a TU mailbox. Once you receive your housing assignment letter, you'll want to begin communicating with your roommate(s) to get things off to a friendly start. You may also want to coordinate what each of you will bring when you move in.

If you are planning to live on campus, find out more about housing vaccine requirements.

Roommate Relations

Rooming with someone in the residence halls can be one of the best experiences of college life and possibly the most memorable. How you and your roommate approach the task of building a relationship with each other will have a great impact on the quality of your experience. You must be willing to communicate, share your feelings and concerns, and work through conflicts as they arise. For you to get along well with your roommate(s), it is very important that you get to know one another. Share your likes and dislikes, the ups and downs of your lives, and your thoughts and beliefs. The key to any successful relationship is effective communication and respect. You may not necessarily become each other's best friend, but you should have mutual respect and, as a result, the experience will be rewarding. If you have any questions or concerns, call the Office of Housing and Residence Life, 410-704-2516.

Off-Campus Housing

The Department of Housing and Residence Life offers a free off-campus housing listing for students seeking a place to live and for landlords with housing available.  If you plan to commute to campus, you can rent a TU mailbox.
