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.
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.
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 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!
