Favorite Class or Professor and Why
The Humanities Seminars I took freshman year! As a Humanities Scholar, you are required to take seminars both semesters that are designed specifically for your cohort. Each class has new professors from different disciplines who collaborate on the creation and teaching of the course. It is a truly unique and special experience.
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.
Favorite Spot on Campus
Pig Pen Pond or the stretch of grass and trees outside the library.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to take at least 15 credits! I only took 12 which counts as full-time, but in order to graduate in 4 years, you should take an average of 15 credits each semester.
