What makes UMBC home?

UMBC has a way of truly bringing out the best in everyone. It's rigorous academically and encouraging creatively; everything that I could want to help me improve in all aspects of life. The policies UMBC has in place make failing ok as we truly only learn from our failures. Additionally, I have to say UMBC has a way of helping you find your people!

My UMBC hack is...

Find your people! Everyone else is finding friends and meeting new people!

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

It's ok to make mistakes and your life will not be over for failing one test.

My advice to prospective students...

Try everything! Even if you know what you want to do with your life allow yourself the space to see if that changes. And it might not! Either way you'll get to say you tried and move forward without any "what ifs."

I'm passionate about...

Activism I love to dance ballet. Sewing Dog training

I'm involved with...
