The people! I've made so many connections here. My friends are great and I've been fortunate to have many helpful professors that are always willing to chat not just about classwork, but about what it's like to work in my field.
Join student orgs! It's so cool to get involved and organize events on campus. In that same vein: go to events on campus!
Comedian and actor Scott Seiss was a founding member of Dog Collar Comedy, UMBC's improv troupe that I am a part of!
UMBC has made me a much more well-rounded student than I ever expected! I'm a Graphic Design major, and the interdisciplinary class options have allowed me to explore subjects outside of my major that aren't necessarily offered at exclusively arts schools.
