How has UMBC helped you grow?

I came in to UMBC thinking I knew exactly what I wanted and was only here to get my degree and get out. Since having to take my GEPs I realized the major I came in with was not my forever home and switching was not as scary as I thought it would be.

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 most memorable UMBC experience was...

Performing tricks with my serivce dog, Jake, at the SEB talent show!

It was closer to home and had the programs I wanted. I wasn't dead set on the school when I applied but I am happy to say my forever home!
