# Terp Twins Times 2

*April 16, 2024* — by [Karen Shih ’09](/author/karen-shih)


> From Family Dinners to Built-in Besties, 4 Sisters Share Benefits of Attending UMD Together

*Terp Twins 03292024 RS 1305 1920x1080 — Clockwise from top left: Kamryn Edwards &#039;27, Amira Edwards &#039;25, Britne Edwards &#039;27 and Jade Edwards &#039;24. The two sets of twins are from the same family—and are all attending UMD at the same time.*

Arms raised triumphantly, with “FlyGyrlz” emblazoned across her chest and sparkly shadow framing her eyes, 9-year-old Kamryn Edwards ’27 beams in a family photo as she’s lifted high in the air by her three sisters.

That’s how it’s always been for the Edwards girls. The two sets of fraternal twins, born less than two years apart, have supported each other in everything, from cheerleading competitions to a specialty high school program to now all attending the University of Maryland.

“We always had that best friend everywhere we went. Even if we didn’t know anyone in the room, we had our twin. That gave us an advantage,” said Jade ’24.

She and Amira ’25, both elementary education majors, are the older pair, while Britne ’27, an animal science and agriculture business management major, and Kamryn, a kinesiology major, are younger. All attended the Academy of Health Sciences at Prince George’s Community College for high school (part of UMD’s dual enrollment [Middle College Program](https://today.umd.edu/grow-your-own-teacher-pipeline-20cb854e-db27-4010-afac-90963b9229ae)) so they enrolled with 60 credits under their belts. That’s put Jade on track to graduate in May, after just two years on campus (though she will stay for a master’s degree), and Amira to finish next spring.
