BS '18 - Urban Design & Planning
What struck me most about UBE’s program was that I never felt like I was isolated or alone. I knew that if I needed help, there were always people there to support me and my efforts. The UBE program has definitely provided me with a new set of friends, a greater comfort level with different cultures and backgrounds, and a real sense of community that has stayed with me through college.
