How has UMBC helped you grow?

Every faculty member you'll meet, from teachers to advisors, really cares about your success, academically and personally. I've met a lot of people who have encouraged and helped me to do things I wouldn't have thought I was ready for.

My UMBC hack is...

starting work ahead of time if necessary, so I can always get eight hours of sleep a 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.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

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