Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Atwater's in Catonsvillle!!! It's a cute brunch spot!

My UMBC hack is...

talk to people! The more connections you make the better your UMBC experience will be, from making new friends and memories to getting useful opportunities along your career path!

My advice to prospective students...

is to try new things!! You don't really know if you'll like something until you experience it. Plus it's better to take the risk and maybe find a new passion or meet new friends.

What makes UMBC home?

The people. Everyone is so genuine, helpful, and wants to see you happy and successful.
