Resident Life at UMD

Move-in is almost here — have you thought about how you’re decorating your new space? 🛏️✨

Make your room feel like home and avoid damage fees by decorating smart:

🖼️ Use blue painter’s tape or poster putty to hang items
💡 Stick LED lights to the tape, not the wall
🚫 Skip the vinyl decals — trust us on this one
Your future self—and your walls—will thank you! 🙌

P.S. Don’t forget to coordinate with your roommate before you start decorating! 🎨🛋️

The best way to have a good roommate is to be one. 🤝✨

Before move-in, take some time to think about how you and your future roommate can start off strong and stay on the same page.
