UMBC has helped me grow by making me feel more confident about myself and with my work. When I need I ask for help I go to the tutoring center.
My advice for prospective student is to research all the schools and visit the campus to see which school feels like you belong.
Fun fact about me is that I was born in El Salvador and moved here when quite young. Another fact is that I like going hiking and traveling.
I chose UMBC because I feel like I belong I don't feel overwhelmed by people and classes that I am attending. The event is not overwhelming as well they make you feel like it is a family event.
