UMD College Park Dorms Ranked

"It's on the Quad which is the best area to live on south campus, but the dorms themselves are not it."

"The building is decent. Lived there during the 2020 COVID year where there were no roommates. Having 251 is pretty nice but everything else is pretty far especially if you are CS or Engineering."

"La Plata Hall was a great living space during freshman year. I loved how it is so close to the North Campus Diner, and close to a bunch of other freshman dorms. However, it is located far away from most classes so I highly recommend investing in an electric scooter or skateboard if you live here. I lived in a triple, so space was tight, but you would probably live in a spacious double bed room."

"I was worried about not having AC my freshman year but I did (which was awesome). Additionally, the building is definitely overall clean but slightly out of date with its technologies. The location is amazing, it's right next to the gym, La Plata beach, and the Y dining hall. Probably one of the best locations on campus for a dorm (unless you have classes on South). The only big thing is the bathrooms. Usually, things break (such as shower heads, soap dispensers, and I've even seen urinals. And hopefully, nobody pukes on the floor during the weekend cause that sucks."

"Leonardtown is a very spacious apartment and the rooms are very nice. The only issue is that it is slightly far from things on North Campus. "

"The location is perfect. Right next to all the route one restaurant and the quad. Short walk to most academic buildings. The building itself is one of the older commons buildings but since the pricing is extremely affordable, it is definitely worth it. Spacious apartment but the appliances are old. The stove has 3 burners that don't work. The washer-dryer unit is also outdated but we are expecting an update for next year as we released the same unit. "

"Having a shared bathroom with four people isn't bad. The rooms were pretty spacious and were split between two people. It was more than enough room for each person to have their own space and desk. We also had a living room that was decently sized."

"Newly renovated dorm, big clean bathrooms, nice lounges, however some of the dorm rooms are a little small."

"Nice small dorm near south campus. Rooms are pretty big with closets and mirrors on each closet. Walls are normal smooth walls but floors are a tan tile. Showers are big and bathrooms are nice, lounges are definitely lacking, most of them smell and have really old and uncomfy seating. Has air conditioning but isn't super controllable."

"One of the newest dorms with nice lounges and study rooms with floor to ceiling windows. Washers and dryers on every floor and "communal bathrooms" are individual bathrooms where each room has its own toilet, shower and sink. The location is really nice as well since it is literally right next to the new dining hall (Yahentamitsi) and the gym (Eppley). Rooms have clean white walls and wood floors."
