I chose UMBC because...

of the diversity that was present and the size of the campus. In state tuition is a bonus.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Africana Studies. I enjoyed this class because I got to understand who I was as a black man and how my ancestors fought for rights and to understand that they were kings and queens as well.

What makes UMBC home?

UMBC is home once you find your groove. It doesn't take long if you are diligent with making it happen. Friends make the whole experience worth it. The dining hall and going to campus events really allowed me to see myself in a different light and let loose a little.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

It allowed me to go outside my comfort zone and exposed me to opportunities that I would have never thought of. I have meet some great people that expanded my network and I enjoyed experiencing new things. For example there were sports that I had never went to see live before and I went to a lot of connection workshops.
