I chose UMBC because...
of our strong reputation as a STEM and research university. When I was looking for schools, I knew I wanted to either do research or become a doctor and a school with a reputation like UMBC's was a natural choice. Also, I'm a middle child and my parents liked the cost after in-state tuition since they have two other out of state tuitions to pay.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Atwater's in Catonsvillle!!! It's a cute brunch spot!
Fun Fact
I want to study sharks and they're one of my favorite animals, but if I could be any animal then I'd be an otter!
What makes UMBC home?
The people. Everyone is so genuine, helpful, and wants to see you happy and successful.
