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.
My most memorable UMBC experience was...
The bonfire. It didn't seem like it was going to be much of anything, until it was -- it was a really pretty fire, and it was nice to be around everyone who was out for it.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
On campus: Halal Shack, off campus would have to be Fire Wok.
I chose UMBC because...
it has a 5-year masters program that I was interested in, and the Honors College seemed really cool.
