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.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has challenged me academically. While taking diffucult classes, UMBC has provided me (and all students) tutoring resources in order to succeed. I am not afraid to admit that I need help because I know that there are resources and people willing to help me.
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 most memorable UMBC experience was...
meeting my suite-mates on move-in day during my freshman year and establishing a close friendship with them. Also reconnecting with an old friend from middle school and rekindling our friendship
