My advice to prospective students...
is always put your mental health first. Studying is important but make sure you devote time for yourself and friends, and find ways to reduce stress.
What makes UMBC home?
The warm and welcoming community. I've never felt isolated because of how I look or where I'm from while at UMBC.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to come in with AP credits. It can be intimidating to take AP classes during high school but it pays off in the long run.
My UMBC hack is...
to join a club! I met my closest friends through clubs and can't imagine where I'd be without them.
