Every student at UMBC is very dedicated, it is clear that everyone wants to be here for the right reasons.The professors are phenomenal, during lecture some of them can be a little intimidating but if you go to office hours then theyre not as bad as they seem! The size of the campus is perfect, its big enough in the sense that you can meet new people everyday but small enough that you can give yourself 15 min to get to each class
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do well in High School. UMBC is known for its hard classes, but the classes are so much more interesting especially classes specific to your major. The workload is dependent on what kind of classes you are taking but I didn't find the work any more difficult than what I had In High School.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
UMBC is known for its great STEM program, so those classes are always difficult but very informative and is what sets UMBC apart from other Unuversities. The Arts and Humanities Programs are also very great. I have a lot of friends in the dance program and they have a lot of oppurtunities to perform and go on great trips. The Arts and Humanites also have a lot of sholarships for students going into those majors at UMBC
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living in a dorm. I live in Susquehanna and met my best friends there. My floor is like a family and its always fun when we all hang out together. It is also nice to have someone down the hall to ask with help for homework.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are many food options on campus. We even have a Chik-fil-a which I love! The only bad thing is that they are not open as late as many students would like but there are two 24/7 convenience stores located at the dining hall and the commons.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are so many clubs to join at UMBC. If you cant find one for you, make your own! All you need is a sponsor and 5 friends
