What makes UMBC home?

The multitude of friends I have created and the welcoming environment created by everyone on campus who always want to support me in any way they can.

My UMBC hack is...

going to Chick-Fil-A in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid long lines. Also working on the 5th or 6th quiet floors of the library to get work done.

My advice to prospective students...

is to join the extracurricular activities offered by UMBC. You will make so many great friends to support you and do fun activities with. Clubs, research, and leadership positions also look great on a resume if you want to apply for internships early on in college.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I have taken on more leadership roles to improve my interpersonal skills and from UMBC I have gained the resources, confidence, and time-management skills to work towards my goals and prioritize my values.
