Favorite Spot on Campus
Starbucks on Academic Row. It's a central spot where I can recharge with coffee and meet up with my friends.
During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
to go to my professors' office hours. Our professors are here to help and office hours are not only a great way to get extra help in a class, but also a great way to get know your professors.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
The History of Medicine with Dr. Chapin. I enjoyed how even though it was a History course, the class was filled with people from majors such as Biology and Computer Science. Sharing a class with students of other majors helped to see other perspectives about History.
My UMBC hack is...
to get to class an hour early. I'm a commuter and in order to find a parking spot, I like to leave an hour before my class starts to give myself time to park and then time to walk to class.
