During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to take at least 15 credits! I only took 12 which counts as full-time, but in order to graduate in 4 years, you should take an average of 15 credits each semester.
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.
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 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!
