Does living in a campus apartment cost more than living in the high rises?
— The cost is quite similar. While the apartments themselves are a little more expensive, students usually save money because they are not required to have a Dining plan. In addition, the apartments are open 9 months each year; they do not close over the holidays the way the high rises do. For more detailed comparisons, go to the Resident Life website. It seems like Leonardtown is far away from my classes. — Actually, it is as close to the “M” as any of the high rises on North Campus – and closer than Elkton or LaPlata! EcoHouse offers apartment-style living on campus. It’s an easy walk to the Metro, downtown College Park, Lake Artemesia, and the Farmers Market. Additionally, the Campus Connector – South and Evening Orange Line routes serve Leonardtown 7 am – 3:30 am daily.
