How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped push me ot of my comfort zone in many ways. I attended a week-long leadership retreat my freshman year, and it did wonders for my confidence.

I chose UMBC because...

I liked the tight-knit community, and it allowed me to stay close to home.

My advice to prospective students...

is the sense of community on campus is the most important factor in choosing a college. I have felt like a part of UMBC's community since my first campus visit, and I absolutely love it.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

during my freshman year, the Homecoming Carnival fell on my birthday, so my friend and I collectively played over 600 games of cornhole to have enough tickets to win me a pair of nice headphones.

I'm passionate about...

Baking Cardmaking Bowling
