[quote=Anonymous]I Graduated from UMBC back in 1990 (Math and Computer Science). I know it's been a long time but it was a fabulous school back then and as far as I can tell it's only gotten better. I worked two summer internships that I found using the school's placement office and I started working full-time as a software engineer the second I graduated - also using the school's job placement service. I actually had the offer letter in my hand by spring break of my senior year. I went on to earn an MS from Johns Hopkins while working full time.

It was very much a commuter school back then although about 20% lived in dorms and quite a few others lived off-campus. One of the things I loved about the school was the diversity and age-range of the student body. I studied with so many people who were already working full-time in the field. I made so many professional contacts and stayed in touch after graduation. When I came across students from other schools, they seemed so juvenile compared to my classmates.

The world is different today but I loved that school and I would send my kids there in an instant. I HOPE my kids choose to go there. Of course, I concentrated in the math and science fields but what a great place to learn.[/quote]
