I chose UMBC because...

it is easy for me to commute and I had always heard good comments from my friends who attended previously.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

My favorite class is Organic 351. I would always underestimate myself because I heard it was a hard class. I used my own study strategies and was able to get an A. This taught me the lesson to always believe in yourself and ignore what others say, it's all about the time and effort you put in.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I was able to join activities I always wanted to and through them I was able to improve my confidence and leadership skills.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

that studying is just as important as going to class. I have to put in the time to study hard in order to get the best grades.
