What makes UMBC home?

The multitude of friends I have created and the welcoming environment created by everyone on campus who always want to support me in any way they can.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Psychology of Learning (PSYCH 210) with Dr. Rajaraman. He was a very kind, understanding, and funny professor and made the class enjoyable while also teaching us a lot of interesting content!

I chose UMBC because...

I like how it is a medium-sized school where I can be independent while also making a lot of close friendships that will last a lifetime. UMBC also has a lot of opportunities and resources to help my academic and career success.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

having a cookout with my friends at nighttime. There are grills and a volleyball court behind the Chesapeake dorm and all of my friends gathered there one night to grill hotdogs and hamburgers, play frisbee and volleyball, and enjoy each other's company.
