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.
What makes UMBC home?
The relationships that I've made. There is a community for everyone .
Favorite Spot on Campus
Sportszone in The Commons. It can be a very busy area (especially during lunch time) but towards the evening, it becomes a great place to do work, hang out with friends and participate in on-campus programs that the Student Events Board (also known as SEB) host.
