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.

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!

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.
