My advice to prospective students...

is use your passions and interests to discover different clubs, organizations, groups, jobs, and so on. This will allow you to meet new people, find study partners/groups, and open the door to future opportunities.

My UMBC hack is...

utilizing the sky bridges on campus when it's really cold, hot, or especially when it's raining. They connect a lot of the buildings on the main level of Academic Row and provide an easy way to stay out of the elements when walking to and from class.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

how easy it was to make friends by just getting out of your room and doing what you like.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Chef Paolino. It's an Italian restaurant about five minutes from campus. They have the best cannolis.
