During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
better study habits as well as trying out new study techniques as soon as I realize that the previous one was not working.
Favorite Spot on Campus
Sportszone in The Commons. It can be a very busy area (especially during lunch time) but towards the evening, it becomes a great place to do work, hang out with friends and participate in on-campus programs that the Student Events Board (also known as SEB) host.
My advice to prospective students...
is don't feel stuck to one major or minor. It's ok to not know exactly what you want to do but be willing to explore different fields.
Fun Fact
UMBC produces the most African Americans who pursue M.D, Ph.D than any other university in the country.
