r/UMBC

Does anybody have any advice/tips on how to go about studying for the phys 121 final? Thank you!

Incoming fresher graduates to UMBC 2026 fall , let's connect here or any other groups plese lmk. I'm really confused .

hi! i enrolled in 2 classes, both 3 credits. i just got my bill on MyUMBC and it says i already owe $2,8k. fasfa has given me $3k in pell grant but im not sure if it’ll hit for summer session. pls let me know

Hey, I am a statistics major and there are a lot of really difficult electives. I was thinking of taking cmsc but I would like to hear from people who have already taken it. How difficult is it? what level of coding should ik as a stats major and only for this course? Which professor do you recommend?

I kind of know who I need to reach out to according to the website, but I feel a bit overwhelmed and scared. If anyone has advice or experience, that would be incredibly helpful! My big concerns at the moment are:

- Housing. Is it too late to apply for a summer job/internship and get campus housing until the fall semester?

- The cost of the enrollment and orientation fees. Does anyone know if these can be waived or delayed until my first bill? I am eligible for full pell/sub and unsub loans and UMBC gave me enough money on top of that to cover tuition (and a little extra for books/fees, not enough for housing though).

- Proving I'm homeless. I'm bouncing between friends and haven't needed to utilize a shelter or anything, so I haven't talked to anyone (my therapist knows, so do the friends helping me). I'm worried that because I don't have "proof" I won't be able to access any of the resources I need.

Thank you all in advance!

Hiiii!! I'm an incoming student to UMBC for fall 2026 and I'm struggling to find my peers and mates and total confused.how you guys managed any grous or links please lmk

Is this a good idea in one semester? Its a total of 12 credits, but I'm more nervous about taking cmsc cause I've taken coding classes in the past and it was an absolute nightmare for me. Coding isn't my strong suit at all.

I ordered Zyrtec from Amazon over a week ago and still haven't gotten my package. I kinda need the package since I have no more allergy meds.

Does anyone know how long it will take for the package to arrive?

Perfume suggestions for summer vibe!!

Also do you pick it up from the bookstore?
