My most memorable UMBC experience was...

Quadmania! This is a fun event during homecoming weekend were a carnival comes to campus and you get to go on rides and play games. When I was with my friends, we won a huge stuffed animal and I'll never forget how much we laughed and enjoyed that night!

What makes UMBC home?

The people on campus! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, you are sure to feel right at home when talking to fellow students!
