is it's okay to not know exactly what you want to do in the beginning! That's what college is for! You don't have to come in with a strict plan because it can change based on how you change and grow! Also, don't be afraid to explore any and all interests that you have because college is the perfect time to do so!
The people. Everyone comes together to help one another out and it’s so great to see and experience. UMBC wouldn’t be so great without the students and staff that make it special.
the atmosphere is very community-oriented. I went on campus and immediately fell in love. Everyone was so nice and seemed to really care about me and my success in college.
There are these big windows with benches on the first floor of the library. During the week, it’s too loud to actually study there but on the weekends, it’s a beautiful place to see a lot of campus and get a ton of natural sunlight. I could sit there for hours.
