My advice to prospective students...

is college is what you make it, you do not need to have everything figured out right away. There will be time to try new things and find your passion!

How has UMBC helped you grow?

At UMBC, I have had the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and assume leadership roles on campus. This has helped me become more outgoing.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Dr. Carolyn Forestiere is one of the brightest, most dedicated professors I have met thus far. She piqued my interest in a subject I had never enjoyed learning about before.

What makes UMBC home?

This community is welcoming and highly versatile for a college campus. It's not too big yet still provides a myriad of activities to keep you busy. Not having communal bathrooms in all residential halls is also a plus!
