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.
My UMBC hack is...
starting work ahead of time if necessary, so I can always get eight hours of sleep a night.
Favorite Spot on Campus
The dock is a really nice place to relax -- it's serene and somewhere you can go to get away from it all for a little.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Debating America with Professor Jeremy Spahr. It's a first-year seminar that was my first ever in-person class. I learned a lot about contemporary issues, and having discussions about them was really fun.
