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!
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
About all the amazing resources UMBC had to offer (especially the resume help I can get at the Career Center)
Fun Fact
I spent my high school years at an international school in Shenzhen China!
My advice to prospective students...
It isn't easy to go somewhere unfamiliar and being anxious/nervous is totally okay! Just know that everything will end up okay and try to keep an open and positive mind: it helps a lot!
