I chose UMBC because...

They have great programs and great academic pathways. UMBC is the only school that offered me the right program I was looking into applying to while giving me the option of graduating in less than 4 years.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

UMBC has helped me feel more comfortable to ask questions when I don't understand something.

My advice to prospective students...

Use Google Calendar to schedule all your assignments, exams, quizzes, etc., and also schedule the fun things you have planned ex. going home for the weekend, so you have something fun to look forward to!

What makes UMBC home?

I love how UMBC is a smaller campus so you see a lot of familiar faces and everything you might need such as food or healthcare, are close by one another.

I'm passionate about...

Bible Study Worship Leader playing the guitar Pleasure Reading Cooking Fellowship

I'm involved with...
