Venue Description:
This department seeks to exert global influence with its faculty strength and lab amenities. There are two financial labs in the business school. One is the ‘Netcentric Financial Markets Teaching Theater’ (3505), the other is the ‘Netcentric Financial Markets Data Center (1318)’. The Netcentric Financial Markets Teaching Theater is used only for teaching classes, while the Netcentric Financial Markets Data Center is open for students to do research and practice. There are 32 terminals and 64 seats in the Teaching Theater, and 16 terminals and 32 seats in the Data Center. In the financial labs, students can analyze real-time and historical data to understand financial instruments. They also are building and testing investment portfolios using professional software packages. ‘The chief goal of the lab is educating the students in real-time financial concepts to increase their marketability’, says Russ Wermers, assistant professor of finance and lab director. The second goal is cutting-edge faculty research studying the financial markets of the future. The Financial Lab is the second major component of the business school’s Netcentricity Laboratory. The Net Lab’s Supply Chain Laboratory opened in 2000 and Behavioral Laboratory opened in spring 2003.

Accommodation Details:
The University of Maryland provides good residential facilities to its students. There are about 8,245 beds in 36 residence halls and a 625-bed Leonardtown apartment community in the University. Most students live in double rooms and have one roommate. About 12 per cent of all beds are in triple or quad rooms, where students have two or three roommates. Single rooms (no roommate) are assigned solely to returning residence hall students through a seniority system. There is no access to single rooms for new-to-housing students, including for reasons of a medical condition or disability. New-to-housing students may request assignments in traditional "dormitory-style" residence halls (most without air conditioning) or in furnished, carpeted and air-conditioned apartments or suites. Housing demand from graduate students usually exceeds the supply of available beds, so students are requested to ask for housing early, preferably immediately upon receiving formal notice of their admission. All requests are initially placed on a waiting list. If space becomes available, graduate students are moved off the waiting list and assigned a room and roommate. Priority for residence hall housing is given to full-time undergraduate students. The Department of Dining Services offers plans to suit every appetite and every schedule. Classic plans accommodate those living in on-campus residence halls, optional plans cater to students living in nearby apartments and houses, and add-on plans meet the needs of students with large appetites or a desire for even greater convenience and flexibility. Only students who live in traditional and suite-style residence halls where no cooking is permitted are required to have dining plans.
