Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

There is this Chinese restaurant 10 minutes away from campus called Little Phoenix. It is so good!!! Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Debating America, which was a first-year seminar where we learned about the origins of political ideologies and how they affected American thought and policy. It was very interesting to learn why people believe certain ideologies!

What makes UMBC home?

The people. Everyone comes together to help one another out and it’s so great to see and experience. UMBC wouldn’t be so great without the students and staff that make it special.
