One of my favorite spots on campus is the Parking Garage, because my friends and I enjoy driving up there to chill in the car and overlook the campus.
I chose UMBC because it was one of few universities within the DMV area which offered Animation as a major. I also chose UMBC because I felt it had a community and atmosphere which would allow me to grow and make a name for myself.
My advice to prospective students is to take an active role in finding your community on campus! There are many clubs and activities/opportunities here, but you have to be willing to reach out and attend/join them.
My favorite local shop is Taste Tea in Arbutus, because its the perfect spot to grab a simple "After-Classes treat", "Mid-Week Treat" or "Pick-Me-Up Treat"!
