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!
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 UMBC hack is...
if you plan on commuting to campus, and are taking one of the UMBC shuttles, take advantage of all the stops because if you don't feel like walking or if you are running late, the shuttle cuts the time in half and gets you to your destination in the matter of minuets. It's especially useful when you need to get to the Performing Arts and Humanities Building.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Blue Moon Too located in Downtown Baltimore! Get the Captain Crunch French Toast, you will not regret it!
