During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to go to Involvement Fest. It is such a great way to network and make friends. Don't be scared to speak up and meet new people because chances are that they are feeling the exact same way!
I chose UMBC because...
I really liked how diverse it was both in terms of the student body and the variety of programs that it has to offer!
Favorite Spot on Campus
The Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building! I love to sit on the comfy chairs next to the huge windows. ILSB has excellent natural lighting and study rooms among other spots in the building which have been great for studying during exam season!
My advice to prospective students...
is don't be afraid to talk to someone in your class! You would be surprised to find that they are feeling the exact same way! Try to bond with your fellow peers and get involved.
