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.

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.

Fun Fact

UMBC produces the most African Americans who pursue M.D, Ph.D than any other university in the country.

My UMBC hack is...

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.
