My advice to prospective students...
this is a fresh start, so make sure you learn from the mistakes you made in high school. I regretted not being very involved in high school so when I started at UMBC I made sure to say yes to every opportunity available.
What makes UMBC home?
The people that I have met here and all the great memories I have from spending time with my friends.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
I got the opportunity to really step out of my comfort zone and try lots of new activities to develop my interests. Now I am much better at connecting with people and making decisions for myself.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
everyone is just as confused and afraid. I wished I'd known that it was okay to ask lots of questions, because usually everyone else around me was just as confused as me
