I chose UMBC because...
I loved the size of the campus and the Social Work program at UMBC!
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
One of my favorite local restaurants is The Atlantic on Frederick Rd. It is only a few minutes drive off campus and has some of the best food you will ever have!
Favorite Spot on Campus
My favorite spot on campus is the 7th floor of the library. I love to find a cozy corner and do my homework and catch up with friends!
My UMBC hack is...
to make sure you give yourself time to take care of yourself and invest time into your interests!
