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.
My UMBC hack is...
going to the Psychology Building on floor 3 or 4 and doing work! They have desks on those floors, and it is secluded and quiet.
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.
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.
