With Central Baltimore edging into the status of a hot neighborhood, the University of Baltimore is making it easier for students who want to live in nearby UB Midtown apartment buildings. Those who choose to live in any of five area buildings will be supported by student living assistants, each of whom is trained as a liaison for campus life, apartment issues, local attractions and so on. The plan, now heading into its second year, is making these walkable neighborhoods even more attractive for students of all kinds.
“UB is drawing more and more students who want to live near campus,” says Kathy Anderson, dean of students, “and UB Midtown is our campus. We have a different model of living; you can come here, have the support of the student living assistants and the campus, and start to build learning and living skills.”
