Favorite Spot on Campus

My favorite spot of campus is the Commons. With the different levels there are numerous resources and activities in this building, as well as great food!

I chose UMBC because...

The size and academic resources! To me, the campus is the perfect size. Everything is not a far walk but there is always something new to see. At UMBC the faculty truly want to help. I reached out to faculty before I was a student here and they went out of their way to help me! Now as a student here, they are just as eager to help.

My advice to prospective students...

is to get involved! It will help you meet people and create great connections!
