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!
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.
The people. Everyone comes together to help one another out and it’s so great to see and experience. UMBC wouldn’t be so great without the students and staff that make it special.
is it's okay to not know exactly what you want to do in the beginning! That's what college is for! You don't have to come in with a strict plan because it can change based on how you change and grow! Also, don't be afraid to explore any and all interests that you have because college is the perfect time to do so!
