My UMBC hack is...

Study in the RLC in the library as much as possible! It's one of the best resources on campus for group studying.

What makes UMBC home?

UMBC is home to me because of its vibrant student community and all the friends I've made through interacting with them.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

History of Modern Philosophy with Dr. Nance is the best class I've taken. The class itself is interesting to me, and Dr. Nance is a wonderful professor who encourages productive discussions in class and takes a strong interest in the well-being of each of his students. This class is a must for anyone interested in philosophy, as it provides a great starting point by going over some of the most influential philosophers and theories of the modern period, which in turn have shaped our current society in any number of ways.

My advice to prospective students...

Getting involved with clubs and student organizations is one of the best ways to network and make the most of your time on campus!
