How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has given me the support I needed to recognize my potential and to pursue my dreams with confidence. I've come to realize that what I've wanted to achieve is within reason and that I have the motivation and resources necessary to my success. The sky really is the limit!!
My advice to prospective students...
is to try new things!! You don't really know if you'll like something until you experience it. Plus it's better to take the risk and maybe find a new passion or meet new friends.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Dr. Freeland! He's my Individualized Studies (INDS) advisor and is someone who really understands where I want to go and pushes me to get there and beyond, but creatively and in my own way.
Favorite Spot on Campus
The Commons in the morning is surprisingly quiet and peaceful and it's one of my favorite spots to study before it gets busier during lunch.
