Favorite Spot on Campus
The Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building! I love to sit on the comfy chairs next to the huge windows. ILSB has excellent natural lighting and study rooms among other spots in the building which have been great for studying during exam season!
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.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Blue Moon Too located in Downtown Baltimore! Get the Captain Crunch French Toast, you will not regret it!
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
I really liked POLI 327: Interest Groups and Lobbying with Dr. Schaller. It was my first upper level class ever! Initially I was terrified to speak in class and scared of all the upperclassman but over time this class helped me get over my fear of public speaking and Dr. Schaller challenged me and helped me bring my best work forward with every assignment I submitted.
