What Made You Decide to Attend UMD?
I decided to attend UMD because of its proximity to a vibrant city like Washington, D.C., which offers numerous social and professional opportunities. Additionally, UMD had every major I was interested in, making it the perfect place for me to explore my academic and career interests. Attending a large school also means there's a wide variety of clubs and social activities for me to connect with others and feel engaged in our community.
Best Experience with a Class or Project
Collaborating with my team while building an over terrain vehicle gave me hands-on experience to discover all that engineering has to offer.
