How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has challenged me academically and provided me countless resources at all times. This taught me how to accept challenges, manage my time and learn how to use my resources.

What makes UMBC home?

How welcoming campus is. Having thousands of students and over 200+ student organizations, you will easily find your people. Throughout my time at UMBC, I met a lot of people and every single one had a deep love for UMBC. This love is what makes the community so strong.

My UMBC hack is...

to have a go to spot on campus where you can solely focus on assignments. Changing up your study location is always a great tip, but having a special spot that I associate with being extra focused has helped me tremendously.
