My most memorable UMBC experience was...

I came to freshman orientation and got a tour from one of our grit guides. All my worries about leaving high school and taking a bigger step into my education were all gone because they assured me, and made me feel like I would fit right into the UMBC community. One thing they told me that I will always remember is, "UMBC is a place where people hold doors for you." which means everyone at UMBC is open to welcome you, build a friendship with you, and hold the door for you!

My advice to prospective students...

Use Google Calendar to schedule all your assignments, exams, quizzes, etc., and also schedule the fun things you have planned ex. going home for the weekend, so you have something fun to look forward to!

Favorite Spot on Campus

My favorite spot on campus is the main floor of the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building. It has great lounge areas to study and I like having classes in this building because it has nice chairs and tables and TV screens everywhere so you can see the board from wherever you sit.

I chose UMBC because...

They have great programs and great academic pathways. UMBC is the only school that offered me the right program I was looking into applying to while giving me the option of graduating in less than 4 years.
