At McDaniel, much of what shapes your college experience happens in your residence. You’ll do some of your studying here, discuss classes, exchange ideas, hang out, and make friends for life. That’s why we put such an emphasis on the residential experience and put first-year students together in first-year, single-sex residence halls.
Men live in Rouzer Hall, women in Whiteford Hall. Amenities include laundry room, lounges, vending machines, and a TV/DVD unit located in a common area on the first floor. Most rooms are double or triple occupancy. Four resident assistants and one full-time professional live in each hall.
Some details:
Room Assignments & Roomates
Room assignments are made after you send your deposit to the admissions office. We try to match roommates based upon the answers you provide on the Roommate Questionnaire — so be as honest as possible in regard to your study and lifestyle habits.
Housing confirmations are sent to all students in early August. The information you receive will include your room assignment, as well as the name, home address, and phone number of your roommate. Once you receive your housing confirmation, it's a good idea to contact your roommate to start to get to know him/her and to decide who will bring the vital room "stuff," e.g. the music, TV, etc.
If you have a roommate in mind, use the Roommate Questionnaire to make that request. Only mutual, written requests can be honored. Roommate Questionnaires are available online on the admitted-students site once you’ve given your deposit. Make sure you fill out this questionnaire and mail it back to the Residence Life Office by the specified deadline.
