What makes UMBC home?

UMBC is an incredibly welcoming community with so many wonderful opportunities. I have made amazing friends at UMBC, and had so many great new experiences.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Oca Mocha! It's a super cute cafe just outside campus, and a great option if you're looking for something off campus, but not too far. Plus they have amazing coffees!
