My UMBC hack is...

when it rains or is really cold, you can cut through the buildings to get to the higher buildings on Academic Row by taking elevators and the skywalks.

What makes UMBC home?

UMBC has felt like home from the second I stepped foot on campus for orientation. Everything about the campus feel is so comfortable. Especially the fact that I always see someone I know when I walk across campus, I never feel alone.

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Theater 110 (Intro to Acting). I took the class as one of the Arts and Humanities requirements but loved every second. What I liked most was being able to get active in class instead of sitting and getting to interact with other students in every class.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

going to late night with my friends, really every year, but especially freshman year. We went to get food together almost every night and it was a great way to catch up about our days and get some downtime from homework.
