The faculty and staff at UMBC-Shady Grove have been so incredibly helpful. I’ve had similar experiences at other schools, but I’ve never been somewhere that I genuinely felt like every faculty or professor truly cares about the students, regardless of the time they’ve spent with them or the relationship they had.
