Questions about the Student life at UMBC

<ol>
<li>I heard that there are not many places on the UMBC campus for students to hang out . Is that true?</li>
<li>I heard that the majority of students are either commuters, or always in their dorms, meaning there is not that many people to hang with. Is that true?</li>

<p>My son will be attending UMBC in the fall as a music major. We have heard that UMBC is not the school to attend if you are looking to have an extremely active social life. 75% of the students live on campus, but from what we’ve gathered, many students spend a lot of time studying. My son is not a party person, so this did not turn him off in the least. </p>

<p>We’ve driven around campus on the weekends and have seen students out playing football, rugby, etc. But it was nothing like what we saw on the campus of University of MD College Park. </p>

<p>Will you be attending UMBC?</p>
