University of Maryland Baltimore County Reviews and Ratings

• Through whatsapp or facebook groups, I was able to connect with like minded people who were looking for accommodation.
• People can also look on websites like apartments.com or zillow to find the best suited apartment for them.
• The average rent for entire 2bhk apartment will be 1300-1400 usd

• I found accommodation through my college social media groups like whatsapp, telegram, instagram, facebook
• My monthly rent is $1500 which was shared by 4 people. So it would be $320 per person excluding WiFi and electricity which costs around $50
• Challenges like calculating the distance from my house to university was big difficult as I’m new to this state
• My recommendation would be search for instagram or telegram accounts of the university international students
• My accommodation was 3 miles from my university or 8kms from my university

• I live off-campus, as most graduate students do because it’s more affordable and a great way to connect with other graduates.
• My monthly rent is around $400-450. There are plenty of housing options, but the better ones are farther from campus. Nearby housing often has issues with pests and rodents. And also it's difficult to find accommodation nearby.
• There are some Indian groups on Facebook called EKTA for housing updates at UMBC. And also WhatsApp group but it is available only after admission.

• I opted for off campus housing as we have control over the expenses for wifi and electricity. We can share a room with another roommate that reduces rent per head.
• Monthly rent - 300$ included dishwasher, laundry, stove, oven (not microwave oven)
• Challenges - lot of students like to stay close to the university so finding an accommodation near the university is extremely competitive.
  My accommodation was 10 min walk away from the university called Westland gardens. That's where most of the UMBC indians students stay.

University of Maryland, Baltimore County is known for its research in the field of computer science and the admission process is easy. I submitted an online application in computer science and took my English proficiency test and GRE to get admitted to UMBC.

My experience here was good, I would recommend students to join UMBC for Under Graduation or Graduation.

It has been a great and smooth experience. Everyone around is helpful. It is just the area that is not too great.

It has only been close to a month since I have been here but up to now I like it a lot, the people and the faculty are really amazing the only drawback is the lack of social events to meet new people. The main contributing factor for me to choose this university is because of the program and the supporting faculty, I really liked the program structure as well as the classes offered.
