What makes UMBC home?
The relationships that I've made. There is a community for everyone .
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.
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.
