My Perspective: A Day At UMBC

From sunrise to sunset, UMBC hums with activity. Students shift from class, research and creative endeavors to sporting events, festivals and concerts. They work together everyday to build a vibrant and dynamic campus community. Just like there is no typical day at UMBC, there is no typical UMBC student. This video, which captures our lively campus from dawn until well after dusk, was created entirely by Tolu Omokehinde, a Meyerhoff Scholar and Biochemistry major with a passion for time lapse photography. His ability to follow his creative passion allowed him capture his perspective from the roof tops of UMBC.

Planning on transferring there soon. A lot of people say to me "don't go there. There's no parties. Sports suck and yada yada..." well call me old fashioned but I don't go to college for the parties and craziness. I go to pursue an education. All that I have read about UMBC academically looks very promising. It's one of the best universities in the country for undergrad studies. So yeah, I think anyone would love this college, if you're attending college for the right reasons. :)

That's the point. The classes are ridiculously hard because they're trying to be like an ivy league.

It's crazy how something really boring can actually become interesting if you add inspiring music

The campus looks so beautiful at night.

[@emilybrooke_x]

It really is! I love riding around campus on my bike or scooter when the sun is setting and the lights come on. It’s so pretty ❤

UMBC Emphasis on Education, First.

If they did this video on UMBC in the Summer, it would be a pretty quiet place.

[@vicky881931]

[@freedomgal13]

emileo michaels Baltimore City is where the crime and poverty rates are high. Baltimore County is cleaner, more homes, and better neighborhoods (not in all cases) its just a suburbs

​@vicky881931 UMBC is far from the bad areas. It's actually very safe. It is outside downtown by about 10 miles. The surrounding neighbors are quiet and middle class. There no troublemakers there, just a lot of smart nerdy students that take education seriously. It's geared towards technology and engineering. It's a hidden gem. Boring is exactly why both of my kids are there!
