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.
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.
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.
Favorite Spot on Campus
Pig Pen Pond or the stretch of grass and trees outside the library.
