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.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I have taken on more leadership roles to improve my interpersonal skills and from UMBC I have gained the resources, confidence, and time-management skills to work towards my goals and prioritize my values.

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.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

to be involved in more of the fun campus events UMBC provides, such as comedy shows and karaoke nights.

I'm passionate about...

Cell Biology genetics Disease Research Academic Excellence Community Service Exercise Tennis Badminton Singing/Music Reading
