Information about the 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.
