My UMBC hack is...

if you have some spare time to get to class and you are trying to avoid taking stairs, take the elevator in a building to the next floor. Buildings usually have an upper level and a lower level entrance. Taking the elevator from the lower level to the upper level and exiting via the upper level exit spares the trouble of climbing the outside stairs.

I chose UMBC because...

I heard about UMBC's efforts to help African Americans succeed especially in STEM. I believed that I would be welcomed on campus and I would be encouraged to succeed all while receiving a quality education.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

better study habits as well as trying out new study techniques as soon as I realize that the previous one was not working.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

meeting my suite-mates on move-in day during my freshman year and establishing a close friendship with them. Also reconnecting with an old friend from middle school and rekindling our friendship
