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.

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.

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 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!
