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.

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 Spot on Campus

The second floor of the library or Starbucks because I love to have some background noise when I study. You can always find me sitting in one of these spots.
