Favorite Spot on Campus
The stairs and benches next to the Library Pond! I love to see how the pond looks different in the changing seasons and my favorite times to go is when no one else is around and enjoy the tranquility!
What makes UMBC home?
My friends and the familiarity that develops of living in my dorm and having a routine of classes!
How has UMBC helped you grow?
UMBC has helped me grow into my own person, allowing me to expand my personality and experience new people! The community that UMBC creates for each student allowed me to flourish socially!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
STAT350 Statistics with an Application in Biology taught by Professor Stanwyck! I had a great time in her class and found her way of teaching to be very engaging, as well as enjoying the content in her class!
