Information about Local Community

The University is located in the town of College Park, part of Prince George's County. Most faculty live in this county, in Montgomery, Howard or Anne Arundel Counties, or in the cities of Washington D.C. or Baltimore The number and diversity of possible cities and communities in which to reside is one of the advantages of the University's location. Maps and descriptions of the Greater D.C./Baltimore area are provided below.

Given the almost overwhelming options available, you are strongly encouraged to seek personalized assistance from the coordinator of this program, Rhonda Malone, at (301 ) 405-2509. You may also request a copy of our Relocation Assistance Packet, which contains additional useful information.
