I'm a highschool student and I've decided I'd like to study biomedical engineering. I'm hoping to get into UMBC as that seems to suit my needs well and is also quite close in proximity to me, but does anyone have any advice to give for attempting to go into biomed at UMBC? Any input at all will help.

My friend and I are incoming engineering majors looking for a third roommate in our off-campus apartment. We are looking to finalize details soon and move in mid-August. If you or anyone you know is interested, please let me know!

Just for context: I’m an incoming freshman at UMBC majoring in History. Part of my degree plan is to take three arts and humanities classes and I already have one! I’m a big fan of history, America’s history, and I have to have culture classes. I don’t know of any good classes and I want some opinions!

I'm transferring into UMBC, and I want to bring my PC setup, but from the pictures I've seen, I don't know if the monitor arm is going to be able to clamp onto the back. Any info you can give is really appreciated.

I have an interview soon for a role at the UMBC on-campus chick fil an and I just wanted to know how the interviews generally go? Are they chill, strict, demanding, etc? What questions usually get asked?

Do they usually hire on the spot or give their response after some time?

Going into my freshman year for mechanical engineering and just wondering what laptops is used by engineering majors. I know theres spec requirements online but im just curious on what models are used and more reliable.

What should I bring to make the dorm good for staying in, since I’ll most likely have an online part time job, i’ll be spending most of my time in my dorm

Are there any pest issues? like roaches/bugs/whatever else, Im terrible at dealing with those, any caution to take in advance?

Is the dorm something you can stay in outside of sleeping? Or is it better to spend your day outside till you’re about to sleep

Im curious how common this is amongst students. Im a new transfer student and i know ill probably get alot of downvotes for this but back when i used to attend AACC, if i ever had a class where attendance was not required for me id skip out entirely and only showed up for exams and id focus on my assignments from home instead.

So last semester was my first one at UMBC and I took one online class and one in person which was physics 1 honors. Of course I still attended my discussion classes because those were required but after my second or third week I decided i didnt need to sit in the lectures when I could be home during those times just working on my assignments.

In the end i passed the class with a good grade and moving on to physics 2 this semester. I know classes will get harder and ill probably need to go to lectures but sometimes my work schedule might get in the way and I cant make it to lecture.

Im taking these three classes in the fall and would like to know from those who've already taken some of these classes or had a similar semester as this one before, how is the work load in each of these classes?

Like how much hw was given per week and how often assignments were due?

Id like to get a good feel of everything before I start. Im not sure how confident I feel for this upcoming semester and if i should consider dropping one of these. Probably differential equations but idk yet.

too light? difficult? or fine

Hi, there is are rooms available on linden avenue. The house is newly renovated and within 10 minutes of walking distance to Umbc. 2 min walk to shuttle. There’s also a fully furnished basement with its own bath, kitchen and laundry. I’m preferably looking for female tenants. Pls dm for more details.
(posting on someone’s behalf)

Is this technically on campus??

Does the terrace apartment buildings have elevators? And do they have washing machines built into each apartment?

Classes taught at our school aren’t that much easier than other schools.

We gotta stop accepting people just because they didn’t get in umd. Elsewise our rank & social perception isn’t ever gonna get any better than them.

Prestige isn’t everything, but it does affect our competitiveness in life. Besides, there’s plenty of other schools and community colleges in maryland that they (people who fall under our average sat/gpa range) can go to. Just bc we’re a public state school doesn’t mean we have to accept anyone willing to pay.

Also, UMD isn’t the only one trying to be a public ivy. Many other state schools trying to be more selective too. Why not us this time? We deserve better than how we’re treated.

Trying to think of ways to make the dorm cozier- is peel and stick wallpaper allowed? If not, at what point does a large poster become wallpaper?

In the residential agreement it says you can’t paint or wallpaper the dorm, of course, but does something removable like peel and stick wallpaper count?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Has anyone taken legal issues in aging? 🤔 jt seems interesting but i’m not sure how the class is.

Also, has anyone taken agng 440?

I found recently that UMBC has an indoor pool somewhere in the RAC and I plan on going soon but I just wanted to know how crowded it can get?

Also, where the heck is it located in the RAC? Where do I go?
