Transfer Stories
Coming from a low socioeconomic household, I am financial restrained from where I can venture off to receive my education. However, the University of Maryland is a great academic institution, with amazing people, whose goals are to make my dreams come true. I am truly lucky to be able to attend such a University. – Crystal
My favorite thing about UMD so far is how inclusive it is. I think our university does a great job at making sure we have a diverse student body. I also really like that there are always events going on. These events are great ways to meet new people and find new interests. – Allison
