Likes
- Costs less than average, including living cost
- Very good research opportunities in the University
- Lot of Indian crowd in masters program Very good Indian association which is helpful during house search. Well segregated groups to buy / sell used items for lesser price from other students, groups to search houses, groups to book rides etc.
Dislikes
- Remote area
- Small campus and hence competitive on-campus jobs
- Not many technical clubs (that I know of) for masters students to collaborate
- I opted for off campus housing as we have control over the expenses for wifi and electricity. We can share a room with another roommate that reduces rent per head.
- Monthly rent - 300$ included dishwasher, laundry, stove, oven (not microwave oven)
- Challenges - lot of students like to stay close to the university so finding an accommodation near the university is extremely competitive.
My accommodation was 10 min walk away from the university called Westland gardens. That's where most of the UMBC indians students stay.

The Application Deadlines for Spring 2026 intake is 01-10-2025. The UMBC Merit Scholarship is available for student, eligibility is merit based and this Scholarship has a award amount $1,000 to $15,000.
