What makes UMBC home?

The people for sure. I've met so many wonderful people that really embody what it means to be a Retriever!

Favorite Spot on Campus

The Library Pond during springtime! The cherry blossom trees and flowers bloom and there are lots of sunny places to sit.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

My friends and I spend WAY too much time at the IHOP 10 minutes from campus.

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