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.

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 Local Shop or Restaurant

Taste Tea (a bubble tea place right off campus) is always a good place to hang out with friends. You can even walk there!

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.
