My UMBC hack is...
go to lots of events for free food and free shirts!
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.
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
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.
