How has UMBC helped you grow?
In many of my classes, my professors have helped me find confidence to get outside my comfort zone!
My UMBC hack is...
if you want to eat in the University Center for an early lunch, a great time to get in line is between 11:15-11:30, so you skip the main lunch rush!
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
that it's okay to struggle a bit in classes; sometimes your best effort is a B instead of an A and that's okay!
My advice to prospective students...
is ask about clubs in your fields of interest! You can make so many friends while also pursuing your passions.
