My advice to prospective students...

is take your time considering where you want to go and visiting colleges (when possible), but try not to stress too much when choosing! You can find a home and friends wherever you go, plus you could always transfer! At UMBC, we accept almost as many transfer students as first-year students per year. You will always find the place for you, so trust yourself.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

Study Abroad. From narrowing down where I wanted to go, to applying (with the Education Abroad office) and finally going, the entire experience was challenging and incredibly rewarding. I am privileged to have been able to study abroad and am grateful for the help I received while at home and abroad.

I chose UMBC because...

I was offered a Humanities Scholarship, I liked that it was close to my house but far enough away to feel separate, and I wanted a medium sized school.

Fun Fact

I was so close to testing for the 5th Kyu belt in Aikido, but COVID derailed those plans. I hope to test for the belt this coming spring!
