New Resident Orientation

Welcome to the University of Maryland!

We are so excited you have chosen to live in the residence hall community. We believe you will have a great experience during your time on campus. To ensure that, we invite you to participate in the New Resident Orientation Program.

The Department of Resident Life sponsors the annual New Resident Orientation (NRO) program to assist you in getting acclimated to the University of Maryland. NRO features fun programs and events geared towards introducing you to new friends, University resources and services and the many opportunities awaiting you here at UM.

Get a head start in meeting your fellow Terrapins and exploring your new home away from home by joining us for NRO! We can't wait to see you!
