My most memorable UMBC experience was...
Quadmania! This is a fun event during homecoming weekend were a carnival comes to campus and you get to go on rides and play games. When I was with my friends, we won a huge stuffed animal and I'll never forget how much we laughed and enjoyed that night!
My advice to prospective students...
Make sure you look into everything UMBC has to offer! Their are endless opportunities and resources provided at UMBC, so looking into all that UMBC has to offer is essential!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Professor Marcela Mellinger. She is my favorite professor as she pushed me to work harder than any other teacher has. I produced my best work in her class due to her amazing teaching and encouragement. If you ever have the opportunity too take her for SOWK 360 please do!
