is take your time considering where you want to go and visiting colleges (when possible), but try not to stress too much when choosing! You can find a home and friends wherever you go, plus you could always transfer! At UMBC, we accept almost as many transfer students as first-year students per year. You will always find the place for you, so trust yourself.
going to the Psychology Building on floor 3 or 4 and doing work! They have desks on those floors, and it is secluded and quiet.
UMBC has helped me develop my professional skills by allowing me to work in the admissions office. My professors have also helped me find my own voice and encouraged me to think critically in many aspects of my life.
Study Abroad. From narrowing down where I wanted to go, to applying (with the Education Abroad office) and finally going, the entire experience was challenging and incredibly rewarding. I am privileged to have been able to study abroad and am grateful for the help I received while at home and abroad.
