Residence Questionnaire

Do you plan to live on campus? If so, you will need to complete a Residence Hall Questionnaire & Dining Hall Contract. The information we gather helps us better assess and meet your housing needs.

What to Bring

It can be confusing to decide what to bring when living on a college campus for the first time. Our guide to moving on campus helps you know what you can (and should) take with you and what isn’t allowed.

A Pet-Friendly Campus

UMFK is a pet-friendly campus, and our students can have a pet live with them in Crocker Hall! You could have a cat, bird, hamster, gerbil, or even hermit crab(s) as a pet. UMFK is currently the only college or university in Maine to offer this opportunity to students.

If you are interested in this opportunity, you can find more information under the Residence Life section of the UMFK portal.
