UMBC has helped me discover my own creative processes by offering me many opportunities, both inside and outside of the university.
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.
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!
My friends and communities make UMBC home for me. There is truly so much support and love to be found here.
