How has UMBC helped you grow?

I have become much better at being more social and being less shy! I have also become a more well-rounded person and student!

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Debating America, which was a first-year seminar where we learned about the origins of political ideologies and how they affected American thought and policy. It was very interesting to learn why people believe certain ideologies!

I chose UMBC because...

the atmosphere is very community-oriented. I went on campus and immediately fell in love. Everyone was so nice and seemed to really care about me and my success in college.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

STRiVE, which is a leadership retreat that people can go to during winter break. It was so great to meet new people who have different views about life than me. I was able to make new friends and allow myself to be vulnerable in able to learn more about myself. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
