I chose UMBC because...
I felt surrounded by like minded individuals that shared my interests and hobbies.
What makes UMBC home?
The welcoming community makes UMBC always feel like home, especially after a long day of classes or right after big exams.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has gotten me out of my comfort zone and given me more opportunities to speak in public and face that fear.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Science 100 was my favorite class since we got to go out in the streams and take samples of water.
