My advice to prospective students...

Do not be afraid to talk to people! You will meet some of your most incredible friends by just striking up a conversation.

Fun Fact

What makes UMBC home?

The people. It sounds cheesy but, honestly, no place becomes your home until you find your people. Without the people here to make UMBC what it truly is, it is just a set of buildings. The students are so connected and supportive. Staff and administrators are understanding and inclusive. It is just an incredible environment to be in.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

Move in day. My roommate and I were instantly best friends and I love my suite mates. It was such a fun and exciting day!
