I would advise new students to be open to trying new things, but don't take on too much! It can be very tempting to say yes to every activity or event that comes your way, but your first priority should be taking care of yourself.
One of my most memorable experiences here was getting to meet and perform for Misty Copeland! It was such a special and rare opportunity and I will always be grateful for it!
I had many instructors and mentors who went to UMBC, some of whom were also members of the Linehan Scholars Program! I like the size of our campus, its distance from multiple other cities, and above all else: I love my friends, mentors, and the communities I have found here!
My favorite spot on campus would have to be the PAHB. You can feel the passion in that building, and it always gets me excited about getting to perform and create for my career!
