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.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The Pond is very relaxing and pretty to sit by with friends.

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.
