What makes UMBC home?

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.

I chose UMBC because...

UMBC highlights having a very close community. I really felt like the institution itself cares about their students and tries to help them as much as they can. I also love that my fellow students are just as or more academically focused as I am and I feed of off other people's energy to encourage myself.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Oca Mocha and/or The Hub

My UMBC hack is...
