Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Intro to Creative Essay Writing--I honestly hate writing but this class made essays almost enjoyable. It was a late-night class that lasted two hours once a week, but the professor always had so much energy.

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

everyone is just as confused and afraid. I wished I'd known that it was okay to ask lots of questions, because usually everyone else around me was just as confused as me

I chose UMBC because...

I wanted to go to a small school and a place with lots of resources for pre-health students.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I got the opportunity to really step out of my comfort zone and try lots of new activities to develop my interests. Now I am much better at connecting with people and making decisions for myself.
