I chose UMBC because...
I was offered a Humanities Scholarship, I liked that it was close to my house but far enough away to feel separate, and I wanted a medium sized school.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
There are a lot of great places around, but I love Atwater's. It has a very calming vibe and is a great place to do some work off campus!
My UMBC hack is...
going to the Psychology Building on floor 3 or 4 and doing work! They have desks on those floors, and it is secluded and quiet.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
The Humanities Seminars I took freshman year! As a Humanities Scholar, you are required to take seminars both semesters that are designed specifically for your cohort. Each class has new professors from different disciplines who collaborate on the creation and teaching of the course. It is a truly unique and special experience.
