What makes UMBC home?

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

is use your passions and interests to discover different clubs, organizations, groups, jobs, and so on. This will allow you to meet new people, find study partners/groups, and open the door to future opportunities.
