What makes UMBC home?

The people that I have met here and all the great memories I have from spending time with my friends.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

everyone is just as confused and afraid. I wished I'd known that it was okay to ask lots of questions, because usually everyone else around me was just as confused as me

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.

How has UMBC helped you grow?

I got the opportunity to really step out of my comfort zone and try lots of new activities to develop my interests. Now I am much better at connecting with people and making decisions for myself.

I'm passionate about...

Guitar ice skating Calligraphy Service Hiking Napping
