How has UMBC helped you grow?
In many of my classes, my professors have helped me find confidence to get outside my comfort zone!
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
My friends and I spend WAY too much time at the IHOP 10 minutes from campus.
My advice to prospective students...
is ask about clubs in your fields of interest! You can make so many friends while also pursuing your passions.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
that it's okay to struggle a bit in classes; sometimes your best effort is a B instead of an A and that's okay!
