How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me create my resume, get a job, and taught me many lessons about college life and my future career.

What makes UMBC home?

The warm and welcoming community. I've never felt isolated because of how I look or where I'm from while at UMBC.

My advice to prospective students...

is always put your mental health first. Studying is important but make sure you devote time for yourself and friends, and find ways to reduce stress.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Crepe Escape which is 12 minutes from campus. They sell crepes and boba tea, and is a great place to take photos and hang out!
