My advice to prospective students...

stay true to yourself and really find your place. It took me awhile to really find my people on campus, and times can get difficult with the way college is, but just keep being you and the right people will come.

I chose UMBC because...

it was a school that was closer to my home and everyone I care about, I was able to easily double major in both areas I am most interested in, and I just liked how friendly everybody on campus was to me, even when I was touring.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I feel as though I have become super independent, just by being on my own, alone. Furthermore, I have taken on so many commitments and all of them together has really allowed me to reach out of my comfort zone.
