Describe your college experience
I transferred from Loyola University in Baltimore, and I can say that I prefer a big school such as UMD. I love a big campus, and the number of libraries that they have. I also love the professors and the TA's, they provide so much support and encouragement throughout the semesters.
Tip for future students
I would advise students to choose what makes them happy. Sticking with a major that makes one happy and passionate about their career is what should drive a student to have good grades and have a positive mindset.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Business Writing, it was for my professional writing class. I loved the class because my professor made it comfortable to write about our passion in the business essay we writing for the entire semester. He did not believe in wrong ideas and motivated all of us to get out of our shell and gain skills in writing.
Career goals
I hope to become a data analyst for a big company.
Ideal way to spend a free night
A free night would be to go to the gym, go to the sauna, do weights, pool, and have Chipotle afterward.
