My most memorable UMBC experience was...

The bonfire. It didn't seem like it was going to be much of anything, until it was -- it was a really pretty fire, and it was nice to be around everyone who was out for it.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

On campus: Halal Shack, off campus would have to be Fire Wok.

My advice to prospective students...

Reach out to people! That goes for people in classes and out of them -- nearly everyone wants to make friends but people who are willing to take the first step are much rarer.
