We visited the campus during the summer, when school was out. It was kind of dead, of course. The library and Commons seemed really nice. We liked how the science buildings were close together. The campus seemed okay. It was definitely a lot smaller than UMCP. I think we’ll visit in April, when the have a special junior visitation day.

UMBC seems to be highly rated these days. It has placed #1 with U.S. News and World Report Up and Coming Colleges two years consecutively. Also it recently made the Top 50 best value public colleges.
