Two rooms available in a house off on Poplar Avenue with female roommates. One room will be available June 1st and another room starting September 1st.  Both are $450 rent + utilities. 

The house is located on Poplar Avenue and is really close to the Stadium lot on campus. You can either walk or drive to school in 5-10 minutes. I've walked from my house (near the stadium lot) to PAHB in less than 10 minutes and I walk very slowly.

The house:

-Each room is $450 rent + utilities, so ~$500 total, sometimes less sometimes more.

-The house has 5 bedrooms, with 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms. Includes a washer, dryer, dishwasher, FiOS WiFi.

-Utilities are always split 5 ways (so you only pay 1/5th the BGE bill), even if not all 5 rooms are filled

-No strict lease! It can be a month to month basis, just tell me 30 days in advance if you'd like to move out so I can find someone else to take the room. (I know how rigid year-long leases and finding people to sublease from you can be)

-Lots of street parking

-The rooms are unfurnished 

-Everyone's chill and you can do your own thing (gathering friendly)

-No pets, no drugs please

The room available June 1st:

-Hardwood floors

-Central heating

-Cozy 

-Close to the bathroom and kitchen 

The room available September 1st:

-Carpeted

-Spacious

-Loft style

-Has its own heater and AC

Hello Retrievers!

This is an important message about the ENTR URA research opportunity from the Director of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships

There are many changes happening to student research as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and campus closure. The URA selection committee has some advice to encourage you to apply for a URA and start to plan your research, even if there are some unknowns for the summer and fall semesters.

1. We have moved the application deadline back to May 15, 2020 in order to give students some extra time to prepare their research proposals.

2. Some research that was scheduled to start this summer may be delayed until the fall or spring semester- that’s ok! The URA is good for the entire year, June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2121. You can complete the research at any point during that time frame.

3. Our expectations for a final product are fluid and relaxed. If the research plan doesn’t work out exactly as you proposed, that’s ok- it’s the nature of doing research.

4. Be creative in the ways you think about your project. You may have to focus instead on doing a thorough literature review, using a pre-formed data set to analyze, or looking at case studies, rather than collecting in-person data, or conducting research in a lab.

5. Methods such as lab benchwork, participant observations, focus groups, travel-related, in-person interviews, or other real-time collection methods may need some re-thinking. How can you collect data via online interviews, the internet, or other technological interventions?

6. Creative arts projects may incorporate some kind of online delivery method. We are hoping to be back on campus for URCAD 2021, but consider how VoiceThread might be used to display your creative work.

*Remember:*

URAs provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate students to support their research, scholarship, or creative work with a UMBC faculty mentor on an original project. UMBC students of all years and disciplines are invited to apply, as long as they remain enrolled at UMBC long enough to complete the proposed work.

Deadline: May 15, 2020

Applications require a research proposal and mentor statement of support.

Speciality URAs will be awarded to Social Scientists and Entrepreneurs- see below for more details. ur.umbc.edu/ura
