My advice to prospective students...
My advice to prospective students is to take an active role in finding your community on campus! There are many clubs and activities/opportunities here, but you have to be willing to reach out and attend/join them.
Favorite Spot on Campus
One of my favorite spots on campus is the Parking Garage, because my friends and I enjoy driving up there to chill in the car and overlook the campus.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
One of my favorite classes has been ART 425: Writing for Artists, Curators, and Critics with Professor Mark Durant. It was a fantastic class because I was able to learn new writing techniques, and have deeper discussions on how to make my writing more impactful. Professor Durant had a wealth of knowledge to share which was extremely helpful in my literary growth.
I chose UMBC because...
I chose UMBC because it was one of few universities within the DMV area which offered Animation as a major. I also chose UMBC because I felt it had a community and atmosphere which would allow me to grow and make a name for myself.
