What makes UMBC home?

Everyone genuinely wants you to do your best! It's amazing to see other people so passionate about their interests and supportive of everyone else.

Favorite Spot on Campus

I love the wooden boardwalk that takes you from the edge of the circle to Pig Pen Pond. It's always peaceful and a great place to enjoy the gorgeous plants and the wildlife. One time I even saw a groundhog!

Fun Fact

I love Agatha Christie mysteries! I've read a bunch of the books, and my family likes watching the Poirot and Miss Marple shows together.
