I chose UMBC because...

Location providing independence with commute but homey feeling with suburban environment. Also, the people have a welcoming nature if you reach out to them.

Favorite Spot on Campus

Interdisciplinary life sciences building, second floor because of the spiny chairs.

My advice to prospective students...

College is for figuring out balance, in your career path and free time. Your balance in college could be better than postgrad due to breaks, so take advantage during them to meet friends, attend a club, group or sport.

What makes UMBC home?

The quiet times to sit outside or in the hallways to take in the sights and sounds.
