Favorite Class or Professor and Why

My favorite class (so far!) has been Intro. to Animation with professor Corrie Parks. This was my first major class and I enjoyed it immensely and had a wonderful professor who made the experience even better!

I chose UMBC because...

The Linehan program and the opportunities it provided piqued my interest. It also really helped my tuition cost, which made UMBC my final choice. I also have interest in studying outside of my animation major, and UMBC could provide classes outside of art that I could take.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

Being independent in college has really helped me grow into becoming my own person. The independence of becoming more responsible for myself makes me feel like I can stand on my own two-feet easier.

What makes UMBC home?

The people/community and the environment. Being a smaller school, I often run into people I've met through classes, clubs, etc. It's nice knowing that I'm not surrounded by complete strangers, and that some of those strangers may become my friends someday!
