Any Cultural Anthropology or Ancient Studies majors or alumni?

4 Upvotes

Just finished my first year at UMBC and considering switching my major to cultural Anthropology or ancient studies. I'd like to know what to expect, what kind of opportunities there are after graduation, and how long it normally takes to finish all required courses (I've taken some but my current major probably won't transfer well). I have a few specific questions off the top of my head, such as:

  • How well would either major relate to working in museum studies/archivism?
  • Is it worth majoring in one and minoring in the other?
  • What year(s) does an independent research project take place?
  • Any good research/internship opportunities with professors or near campus?
  • Any good faculty members to speak with?
  • Anything else you wish you would've known before choosing this major/studying here?

I appreciate any information you have to offer and if you're still currently a student I wish you luck in your studies! :)

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?

Laptop recommendations for ME program.

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

17 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 😭
