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