I chose UMBC because...
it has a 5-year masters program that I was interested in, and the Honors College seemed really cool.
My UMBC hack is...
starting work ahead of time if necessary, so I can always get eight hours of sleep a night.
Fun Fact
I'm a natural brunette. Also, I won a Nintendo Switch from a UMBC bingo night.
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.
