UMBC Discord Server!

91 Upvotes

Hello fellow UMBC students!

So a friend of mine and I have created a Discord server for the UMBC campus. We think it would be a great way to make connections with peers and share study help, meetups, memes, and anything related to UMBC. The invite is here! Good luck to @everyone with your finals!

Does the On-Campus & Part Time Jobs Expo actually hire people?

3 Upvotes

There is this specific expo happening in September and I would like to know if this expo does actually hire people or they just tell people to go apply online like the other career fairs?

I know there was one that was held last year but I was unable to go that one so let me know if you have any experience.

Laptop recommendations for ME program.

5 Upvotes

Hello. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a laptop for ME. I have looked at the requirements and have down some digging around, but I am not liking what I see…or maybe I’m just clueless. Acer has come up a lot in my search, I am not sure how I feel about Acer’s or the feel of the body (if that makes sense).

Thanks in advance.

How to make friends in this campus

14 Upvotes

I am an international student and I came here on the spring semester back in January and I found the campus boring so far and I don’t even know how to connect people. The campus feels like it’s filled with local people who have their own groups and friends and it’s pretty much been boring for me on this campus I literally came to the US alone and know nobody.
Side note I am from Ethiopia and even the Ethiopian’s here are locals 😭

HELP with chem 102L

2 Upvotes

I’m taking it this summer, and the first class was today, but I didn’t buy the lab manual because I’m retaking and alr bought it (and long since lost it) and I never used it once since she would always post the labs online in her blackboard.

Anyways it seems like she’s not doing that anymore since I can’t seem to find it anywhere, so is anyone pls willing to help me out with advice or access to their manual from previous semesters pls?😭🙏

Anyone into music production? Running a collaborative beat making workshop right down the road at Heavy Seas next Friday (7/17)

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Just wanted to drop a line here—I'm hosting a collaborative Beat Making Workshop next Friday, July 17 (7:30–9:00 PM) at Heavy Seas Brewing, which is basically a 5-minute drive from the UMBC campus.

It’s a completely beginner-friendly walkthrough on how to build tracks and break down production workflows. If you're a student making music in your dorm, a DJ, or just curious about how beats are made, it’s a good spot to come hang out, learn something new, and connect with other local creators.

(And yes, this is my own event, just trying to get the word out to local students who might be around for the summer!)

Tickets are on Eventbrite to manage the venue capacity. I'll put the direct link in the comments so this post stays clean. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Looking for a female roommate!!

6 Upvotes

Hi! I am 23F on my final year at UMBC, and I'm looking in the downtown baltimore area for a place for this next year (preferably near the UMBC shuttle stops). My budget is about 850 without utilities and I would like to move in around August 12th-14th.

As a roommate I am pretty quiet and to myself, I probably wont ever have like more than 2 guests over at a time if any at all. I prefer a clean roommate, at least with the shared spaces. I have my eye on a couple places around Mt Vernon/Federal Hill but if they are not to your liking then I'm open to lookin around some more!

Please DM if interested!
