UMBC is such a tight knit community. A home is a place where you can feel comfortable and safe. For me, a home is just an environment where you can be free and can be yourself. This how I feel when I'm in UMBC, I feel comfortable enough to be my complete unadulterated self and everyone around me is the same.
When it is raining, be sure to use the academic buildings and the connected bridge ways to avoid getting wet, if you use them right you will only really be outside for 10-20 seconds at a time.
Erickson Field or the Library. Erickson Field is a perfect place to just sit and read a book or just relax, currently there is a lot of outdoor items such as hula hoops and kites and its just a fun place to get active. The library is my favorite place of all time, there just so many features within the building, the RLC for example is a great place to get work done by yourself or with friends and since its open 24/7 its a great place to pull an all-nighter. There are also floor that are completely quiet if you need silence to work. Finally there is Einstein bros (i love bagels) and a relax and unwind room with message chairs and yoga mats and tea.
