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.
I chose UMBC because...
I wanted to pursue a degree in Computer Science, potentially focusing on Cybersecurity. My stepfather's brother, who works at John's Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, told me how good UMBC's Computer Science program is.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Mrs. Bonny Tighe. She's a smart and kind. When you talk to her on a personal level, she feels like a grandmother to students.
