Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Fall semester of 2023, I took PBHL 100 with Professor Katie Birger. I love her so much. She makes her class entertaining and all of her exams are open notes. She also is willing to go past her office hours time to explain anything you're confused about. This is great to be a part of especially if you're an incoming freshman.

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.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

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