Worst dorms at UMD College Park?

The worst dorms at UMD are Chestertown and Worcester Hall. This is because both don’t have AC or elevators. Worcester Hall’s location is pretty bad if you’re a freshman as it is south away from where most of the freshman dorms are. Chestertown has a decent location, but again a lack of AC and elevators make it very unpleasant during the summer months. Both dorms are also very small and could lack the “typical” dorming experience. Other non AC dorms are not the best as well, but have much better locations and have elevators.

The worst dorms on campus are Chestertown Hall and Elkton Hall, due to their locations and the absence of A/C and elevators in Chestertown.
