Favorite Spot on Campus
Fireside Lounge. It's on the third floor of The Commons and has some very cozy chairs while encouraging a quiet studying environment.
What makes UMBC home?
The feeling of community. There's something for everyone at UMBC, no matter what your hobbies, passions, or interests are.
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.
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.
