Living on Campus
Living on campus is an essential part of the McDaniel College experience. First-year students, sophomores, and juniors are required to live on campus (unless they live with their parents or are over the age of 25.)
On-Campus Housing
The First Year residential communities are designed to provide support through the transition to college, and students interact regularly with professional staff as they get settled into their new home. Upperclass students have several options for housing on campus, including traditional residence halls, apartment style living, and college-owned houses near campus.
Dining Options
The dining experience at McDaniel College is based around fresh food and community. With more than 80% of students living on campus, sharing a meal is a central part of the McDaniel experience. And you'll do that while enjoying food that is is freshly prepared by our chefs. We offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, and label all menu items accordingly. Your McDaniel 1Card is your link to to on and off campus dining options. Add funds to your prepaid account - McDaniel Bucks - and use your 1Card to make purchases on and around campus.
Campus Safety
The Department of Campus Safety helps students navigate a successful and safe experience at McDaniel College by providing 24 hour a day protection to the College community 365 days a year.
Health & Wellness
Maintaining good health and well-being is essential for every student's success and overall college experience.
