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.

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!

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Psychology of Learning (Psych 210) with Professor Rajaraman because the content is interesting and he's an entertaining professor! I took it during my sophmore year and enjoyed every class. This class made me realize I would like to be a behavior analyst.

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.
