I chose UMBC because...
it has a 5-year masters program that I was interested in, and the Honors College seemed really cool.
Favorite Spot on Campus
The dock is a really nice place to relax -- it's serene and somewhere you can go to get away from it all for a little.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Debating America with Professor Jeremy Spahr. It's a first-year seminar that was my first ever in-person class. I learned a lot about contemporary issues, and having discussions about them was really fun.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
On campus: Halal Shack, off campus would have to be Fire Wok.
