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 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.
How has UMBC helped you grow?
It's definitely broken me out of my introverted shell but in a comfortable way. I've been able to partake in some great opportunities, such as being a Resident Assistant and being in the Cyber Dawgs club. It's enabled me to sharpen my skills in my field and meet a lot of people along the way.
What makes UMBC home?
The feeling of community. There's something for everyone at UMBC, no matter what your hobbies, passions, or interests are.
