I chose UMBC because...

It is in-state (cheap), I knew I could get in easily and did not want to do other college applications, and I enjoyed the campus.

My advice to prospective students...

The classic "don't be afraid to get involved" advice is actually good advice. Go out and find people that like similar things as you and have fun.

Favorite Spot on Campus

My favorite spot on campus is the Benches on the Knoll or Pig Pen Pond.
