I chose UMBC because...
I really liked how diverse it was both in terms of the student body and the variety of programs that it has to offer!
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Blue Moon Too located in Downtown Baltimore! Get the Captain Crunch French Toast, you will not regret it!
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to go to Involvement Fest. It is such a great way to network and make friends. Don't be scared to speak up and meet new people because chances are that they are feeling the exact same way!
My advice to prospective students...
is don't be afraid to talk to someone in your class! You would be surprised to find that they are feeling the exact same way! Try to bond with your fellow peers and get involved.
