I chose UMBC because...
Of its strong academics, supportive community, and opportunities for you to grow in your passions as well.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
You don't have to figure everything out alone. UMBC has resources and people ready to help!
What makes UMBC home?
UMBC's tight-knit community and endless support, from academics to well-being and social life, make being thousands of miles away from home much easier!
My UMBC hack is...
Attend campus events and join student organizations! They're some of the easiest ways to make friends and discover opportunities.
