Since its founding in 1925, Salisbury University has established itself as the academic hub of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The beautiful campus is designated as an arboretum due to its exquisite displays of trees and plants all around, creating an unbeatable environment to support the school’s scholarly mission. Students are required to live on-campus for their first two years at Salisbury, which helps reduce the competition for nearby living arrangements. The surrounding neighborhoods contain several budget-friendly rental options within walking distance of the campus, and many houses, apartments, and condos that offer convenient access to both the university and the city center to the north. Ocean City is just a short drive down Highway 50, allowing you to spend a day at the beach anytime. Major cities like Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia are also within day trip distance, giving you the opportunity to explore the best of the Mid-Atlantic region at your leisure.
