$2000/month should be enough to find housing and have some money left over for food/items. You should speak to your admissions contact to see what programs they may have available for housing on and off campus with access to transportation. https://offcampushousing.umassd.edu/housing

I agree with this. As a UMD grad and local, I can say you will be making enough on the scholarship to afford living around campus. You’d be better off of you could get some kind of campus job like an assistantship but $2k/month should be enough, especially if you don’t have a car.

My $2k includes income from TA work, but I do not know whether I can supplement that income with additional work. I plan on living close to campus and it looks like the money is enough.

Thank you so much for letting me know.

Thank you! After some research, I believe staying on campus is my best bet. I will definitely talk to the admissions contact.

I attended UMass Dartmouth from 2002-2006. During that time, it was just beginning a massive project to revitalize on-campus housing. They added a lot of new facilities for students during that decade. I bet you will find campus life very comfortable now.
