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.
The Humanities Seminars I took freshman year! As a Humanities Scholar, you are required to take seminars both semesters that are designed specifically for your cohort. Each class has new professors from different disciplines who collaborate on the creation and teaching of the course. It is a truly unique and special experience.
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.
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.
