Dear new students and scholars,

Welcome to University of Maryland, College Park (UMD)!

To better serve our Chinese students and scholars in the UMD, please register with the Chinese Student and Scholar Association (CSSA) if you are coming in the summer or fall of 2010. CSSA can arrange for airport pick-up and temporary housing (Aug. 1-30). The pick-up and temporary housing (i.e. welcome house) are free, but you are responsible for the parking fee (about $5-20) in the airport. If you come in a group of 5 or more people, that will be better for CSSA to coordinate. The pick-up and temporary housing services are contributed by CSSA, Chinese Bible Study Group and Grace Fellowship. To better serve those who are in real need, please limit your stay in the welcome house within one week. A sleeping bag is highly recommended to bring over.

You need to register in the following link.REGISTER

Some recommendations:
For arrival date, Aug. 1-29 is preferred.
For arrival time, 9am-9pm is preferred.
For airport, BWI (Baltimore-Washington International Airport) airport is preferred.

All of us are volunteers and non-paid. Please say "thank you" to those who have helped you and appreciate all the help you have received.

You are responsible for finding your own housing. We suggest you to join the CSSA mailing list and look for housing information. Be sure that the house/apartment is on the shuttle route or within walking distance to campus if you don't have a car. We also suggest you to contact the Chinese students in your department for further assistance, like paying a deposit for you in advance if needed. Please check our website http://www.umdcssa.org for updated information.
