The people - my fellow students, the professors, and other faculty members all do a really great job of making UMBC a place where I can build a community.
OCA Mocha is a local coffee shop in Arbutus that was started by UMBC students. They offer discounts for students and have created a really welcoming, calm environment for everyone.
Before coming to UMBC I was pretty introverted and reserved, but now after two years here I work directly with new and prospective students in multiple ways across campus. I've found a place where I'm comfortable stepping out of my shell more than I ever did before.
Taking the elevator through the University Center building to skip the stairs when I'm running late.
