My most memorable UMBC experience was...
being in my apartment, with my roommates, watching the UMBC vs. UVA basketball game, and then seeing the campus erupting into cheer after the win.
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.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Chef Paolino. It's an Italian restaurant about five minutes from campus. They have the best cannolis.
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.
