My UMBC hack is...

go to lots of events for free food and free shirts!

My advice to prospective students...

this is a fresh start, so make sure you learn from the mistakes you made in high school. I regretted not being very involved in high school so when I started at UMBC I made sure to say yes to every opportunity available.

I chose UMBC because...

I wanted to go to a small school and a place with lots of resources for pre-health students.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

Krispy Kreme because you can get fresh donuts and eat them while they're still warm. Also, Old Ellicott City in general has so many antique stores that are fun to browse.
