I chose UMBC because...

I wanted to pursue a degree in Computer Science, potentially focusing on Cybersecurity. My stepfather's brother, who works at John's Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, told me how good UMBC's Computer Science program is.

Favorite Spot on Campus

Fireside Lounge. It's on the third floor of The Commons and has some very cozy chairs while encouraging a quiet studying environment.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Chef Paolino. It's an Italian restaurant about five minutes from campus. They have the best cannolis.

What makes UMBC home?

The feeling of community. There's something for everyone at UMBC, no matter what your hobbies, passions, or interests are.
