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.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Chef Paolino. It's an Italian restaurant about five minutes from campus. They have the best cannolis.
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 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.
