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.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

how easy it was to make friends by just getting out of your room and doing what you like.

What makes UMBC home?

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