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.
What makes UMBC home?
Everyone I've met on campus. It's a small enough campus that nearly any time I walk anywhere, I run into someone I know, and I really love that.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
On campus: Halal Shack, off campus would have to be Fire Wok.
