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.

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!

My advice to prospective students...

is to join the extracurricular activities offered by UMBC. You will make so many great friends to support you and do fun activities with. Clubs, research, and leadership positions also look great on a resume if you want to apply for internships early on in college.

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.
