Although, UMBC was a great place for my husband and me to grow in our relationship, education, career, and faith; it's our friendships we value just as much! We were both involved with different clubs from the Catholic Retrievers to Engineering groups to sport clubs and intramurals (rugby and volleyball) to our work with Residential Life . We met so many different people and have created valuable friendships - some that may last just during college, but many that will last a lifetime. These relationships are the core of our UMBC experience and we appreciate the interactions we had with UMBC.
