I chose UMBC because...

of how close it is to home and how welcoming the campus felt.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

MLL 230: World Language Communities. I found it interesting how different multilingual countries treat multiple languages.

My UMBC hack is...

make sure to arrive to any dining area 30 minutes before class to eat to give yourself enough time to walk to class after you get your food.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

attending Involvement Fest at the beginning of every semester. There are so many clubs to choose from and Involvement Fest is a good way to get connected to them.

I'm passionate about...

Crafting Learning New Languages Foreign Culture National Student Speech Language Hearing Association Speech Language Pathology
