The people/community and the environment. Being a smaller school, I often run into people I've met through classes, clubs, etc. It's nice knowing that I'm not surrounded by complete strangers, and that some of those strangers may become my friends someday!
The Linehan program and the opportunities it provided piqued my interest. It also really helped my tuition cost, which made UMBC my final choice. I also have interest in studying outside of my animation major, and UMBC could provide classes outside of art that I could take.
My parents own a sushi restaurant in Baltimore City. I did some graphic design work for them too!
Long line at Starbucks/Chic-fil-a and you have time? Hang out at one of the tables to catch up on schoolwork or other stuff. That way, waiting for the lines to get shorter won't feel as long!
