I chose UMBC because...

It is an R-1 school, meaning it is one of the top schools in the country (among Ivy League schools) for research and science overall.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me grow by forcing me to become more independent when it comes not just to school but meals especially.

My advice to prospective students...

Just breathe and remember you can always call home and find help even on campus if everything gets too overwhelming

What makes UMBC home?

UMBC has a place for everyone to go in order to study alone or with friends as well as interact with people of similar interests and backgrounds since UMBC is so diverse
