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.

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.

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.

My advice to prospective students...

is don't be afraid to put yourself out there! If you're living on campus, get to know those who live on your floor and in your building, go to the activities your hall has! If you're a commuter, spend some extra time on campus aside from classes, talk to those in your classes, go to the commuter lounge.
