Where you will live
Selected Urban Teacher Center (UTC) residents start the program in mid-June in Baltimore City. Both the Washington, DC and Baltimore Cohorts live together at Coppin State University in Baltimore for the first six weeks of summer training. Residents receive free room and board for those six weeks. After the first six weeks of the program, residents are responsible for finding their own permanent housing in DC or Baltimore. UTC staff facilitates opportunities for residents to find roommates and makes housing recommendations.

Washington, DC
Washington made Kiplinger's list of 10 great cities for new college graduates in May 2011. Criteria included "rent affordability, access to public transportation, overall cost of living, culture, nightlife and the percentage of people ages 20 to 24."
"The District is a clear choice for new grads looking to start their careers in public service…….As in other large cities, well-paying jobs come with higher rents and living costs. But recent grads can look to eclectic neighborhoods like Adams-Morgan and Columbia Heights for cheaper rent. An abundance of free museums, concerts and other entertainment also lessens the cost-of-living sting."
