Describe your college experience
My college experience so far has been really good! I have transfer to Maryland to be closer to home and to get a better education, which Maryland offered. So far I had some amazing professors and a great advisor!
Tip for future students
Do stuff on campus! Get involved! I think that one thing that I wish I had done more. As a commuter it can be hard because you could have the long drive and you really don't know anyone. But getting involved is what can help you make new connection and friends! But try to do things even if it's a sporting events or a job fair!!
Favorite class
My favorite class I have taken so far would be Criminology with Selena Price. She had been an amazing professor and connected so much to what we do in our everyday life and it honestly helps me learn so much.
Career goals
During this past year I had debated so much on my career goal and I still don't have a definite answer. But hopefully something within the criminology field.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love going to sporting events with my friends. All sporting events are usually free for Maryland students. Some you may have to physically get the ticket off their websites or be put in a drawing other you can just show your id at the gate!

Previous college
I went to Coastal Carolina University my freshman year, my transfer experience wasn't to bad, I feel like the only thing I struggled with was having no advisor at first and was given someone who made me take credits I didn't really need, but than when I finally got a advisor he was so helpful and helped me get what I needed.
