How has UMBC helped you grow?
In many of my classes, my professors have helped me find confidence to get outside my comfort zone!
My UMBC hack is...
if you want to eat in the University Center for an early lunch, a great time to get in line is between 11:15-11:30, so you skip the main lunch rush!
I chose UMBC because...
as soon as I stepped onto campus, the community instantly felt like home.
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!
