UMBC produces the most African Americans who pursue M.D, Ph.D than any other university in the country.
Giant is located about 5 minutes away from Campus making it really accessible to get groceries and stock up on supplies. The UMBC transit provides transportation to Giant (and many local stores in the area) free of cost to UMBC students.
if you have some spare time to get to class and you are trying to avoid taking stairs, take the elevator in a building to the next floor. Buildings usually have an upper level and a lower level entrance. Taking the elevator from the lower level to the upper level and exiting via the upper level exit spares the trouble of climbing the outside stairs.
I heard about UMBC's efforts to help African Americans succeed especially in STEM. I believed that I would be welcomed on campus and I would be encouraged to succeed all while receiving a quality education.
