I chose UMBC because...
when I stepped on campus for orientation it just felt like home. I also wanted to stay in-state while being far enough from home that it made sense to live on campus.
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.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
that almost all of the food options on campus take your meal plan! I did not know that the food options in The Commons and Administration Building took the meal plan. It opened a whole new world of food on campus when I found out.
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.
