My most memorable UMBC experience was...

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.

What makes UMBC home?

You find so many people you can relate and connect to. UMBC is so diverse and it's so fun to communicate with all the different backgrounds and personalities.

Favorite Spot on Campus

The Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building is so pretty and they have really nice sofas. It's a very nice place for studying.
