My advice to prospective students...

is to take electives that match your interests! You are more likely to perform well in them and you can learn more about a topic you're passionate about.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The desks in the Math & Psychology building. They make a very good study spot and they are usually very quiet so I'm able to concentrate on my schoolwork.

What makes UMBC home?

The welcoming and inclusive environment the students and staff bring.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

attending Involvement Fest at the beginning of every semester. There are so many clubs to choose from and Involvement Fest is a good way to get connected to them.

I'm passionate about...
