Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
There are a lot of great places around, but I love Atwater's. It has a very calming vibe and is a great place to do some work off campus!
What makes UMBC home?
My friends! Not only does UMBC have a welcoming environment, I have made amazing best friends and acquaintances who make UMBC feel safe and feel like home.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has helped me develop my professional skills by allowing me to work in the admissions office. My professors have also helped me find my own voice and encouraged me to think critically in many aspects of my life.
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.
