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.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

to come in with AP credits. It can be intimidating to take AP classes during high school but it pays off in the long run.

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.

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.
