My advice to prospective students...
stay true to yourself and really find your place. It took me awhile to really find my people on campus, and times can get difficult with the way college is, but just keep being you and the right people will come.
My UMBC hack is...
definitely use the shortcuts to get up to the performing arts building if need be! The steps can get super tiring, especially on a Monday morning :)
What makes UMBC home?
Everywhere you go on campus, everybody is friendly. People will stop to talk to you, everybody is supportive of one another, and overall, the vibes as you go around is calm and inviting.
Favorite Spot on Campus
My favorite spot on campus is probably the Commons. I really like how it is a shared meeting space for so many students, it's a great place to socialize, and the food choices are my favorite.
