Perhaps the most unique thing about my school that I found set it apart from others is the diversity on campus. Throughout my experiences, I have interacted with so many different types of people. Whether in the classroom or in a casual setting I have been given the opportunity to witness and appreciate innumerable ways of life. This has by far been the most beneficial aspect of college which I firmly believe has best prepared me for being a productive member of society.

As I was applying for school, I knew I wanted to major in Special Education. The University of Maryland has a top-10 ranked BS/MED program in Special Education, and will allow me to graduate with both a Masters Degree in Special Education as well as teacher-certification for students with general and severe disabilities. This program has given me internship opportunities in school, as well as coursework that will be very benficial for my future career.

UMD is located in the middle of Anapolis, Baltimore and DC. The school itself allows you to explore practically anything that interests you, but the accessibility to these cities truly makes it unique. DC provides access to internships in business and government, and access to other parts of the world that other campuses can't come close to. Anapolis has great history and a chance to relax, enjoy the water in the summers, and have a completely unique experience. Baltimore provides further variety. The diversity gives you a chance to learn about people and you are very well connected.

The University of Maryland provided a Music Education degree with a focus on saxophone performance. In other words, I was able to study to become a Music Teacher while maintaining the level of a performance major. The size and location of the school provided numerous oppurtunities for me to perform as well as interact socially with students, teachers, professors, and musicians.
