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.
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.
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.
I chose UMBC because...
it has a 5-year masters program that I was interested in, and the Honors College seemed really cool.
