What makes UMBC home?
Everyone genuinely wants you to do your best! It's amazing to see other people so passionate about their interests and supportive of everyone else.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
I loved Engineering 101 because I had a great time with the group robotics project, and it was really fun getting to know my group members!
Favorite Spot on Campus
I love the wooden boardwalk that takes you from the edge of the circle to Pig Pen Pond. It's always peaceful and a great place to enjoy the gorgeous plants and the wildlife. One time I even saw a groundhog!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
There are so many academic and personal opportunities offered at UMBC, and it has been a huge growth experience to be encouraged on all sides to pursue my goals.
