Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

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 Class or Professor and Why

It's a tie between Social Media Networking with Dr. Snyder and Costume Design with Prof. Abele. Both professors are extremely passionate about their subject matter and assign fun, yet enriching projects.

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