My UMBC hack is...

make sure to arrive to any dining area 30 minutes before class to eat to give yourself enough time to walk to class after you get your food.

I chose UMBC because...

of how close it is to home and how welcoming the campus felt.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

OCA Mocha, a coffee shop in Arbutus that was recently opened by UMBC alumni!
