Lodging

The University of Maryland is mostly surrounded by residential areas, such as Hyattsville, Greenbelt, and Riverdale, where there’s a wide variety of rooms and houses for rent with online providers. We recommend using a reliable lodging provider.
Hotels in DC are also available, however rates can be higher. The Hotel at the University of Maryland is the closest one, located within campus. For advising or inquiries about lodging, please contact the organizing committee at sllc-gradconference@umd.edu.
Getting to Maryland
Getting to Maryland
By Train:
The Amtrak train system runs through the Northern East Coast, from Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, and Richmond. The closest station to the University of Maryland-College Park is New Carrolton. This is the last stop before Union Station, located in the middle of the capital.
By Plane:
Three airports serve the urban area of Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC: Washington Dulles Airport (IAD), located in the western side in the city; Ronald Reagan Airport (DCA), located by the Potomac River near Downtown of DC, and BWI in Baltimore. Both IAD and DCA airports have access to the capital’s metro system. We recommend landing in DCA, as it closer to DC and College Park.
