How thick are the legs of the beds in the dorms (particularly in Centreville)? Asking so I know which bed risers to get so that the legs can fit. Also, how many inches of space are underneath the bed without bed risers?

Anything other tips or things i should keep in mind when moving into Centreville will also be appreciated

1. I read somewhere that an e-bill is generated each month on the 25th, and due the following month on the 20th. If the currently bill for the fall semester that has been generated on July 25th is payed off, does that mean I won’t get any more e-bills next month or for the rest of the semester? Or will e-bills continue to be generated every month? If so, on what will they bill me? Because if i already payed off my fall semester bill, what’s the point of me getting another bill next month?

2. I also read somewhere that there are more deadlines after August 20th to pay off ur bill. Are these deadlines only for if you want to pay it late, and therefore will get a late fee? Or are there later deadlines than August 20th that will allow you to pay without a late fee? If so, which dates are the deadlines? And what is the difference between these deadlines and the August 20th one?

3. During my NSO, I remember one of the OAs mentioned that you have to pay a fee if you want to pay ur e-bill using ur credit/debit card. Is this true? If so, what’s the way to pay my e-bill without any additional fees?

4. Any tips on how I can find scholarships and good private loan offers would be appreciated, because i have ZERO federal financial aid and i can’t afford to continue through all four years without scholarships and a loan. 😭🙏🏾

Has any lived in Centreville hall before? If so, what are the bathrooms like? Is there enough space in the showers? Any other thoughts about Centreville on general?

I’m an incoming freshman for the fall semester and I’m living on campus. Roommate finder closes in TWO days and i still haven’t found a roommate 😭. I swear this shit is like a humiliation ritual 🫩. If there is any female in College Park Scholars (preferably in CESG like me), and ur still looking for a roommate, pls dm me! Shit…even ur not in CPS, still dm if interested just in case. (I’m not comfortable rooming with someone that has a service animal tho) Interests: community service, social justice/advocacy, listening to music, always down to eat food together

Are there any leftist clubs, groups, or organizations I can join at UMD other than YDSA for political activism and community organizing? (By leftist, i mean socialist/communist, not Democrats)
