During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

college is nothing like high school and I have to create boundaries between social life and academics

I chose UMBC because...

of the environment that accepts everyone's individuality and its proximity to home.

Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant

My favorite local store is Walmart, but only the one on Washington Blvd. It is not far from campus and is surrounded by restaurants, a nail salon, and Dollar Tree. Whether it is early in the day or late at night, my friends and I never hesitate to take a "trip" to Walmart.

My advice to prospective students...

take advantage of what UMBC has to offer! There are many resources and activities on campus.
