As Freshman Seminar comes to a close, it is time to reflect on this past semester at Baruch College. Overall, I had a great experience at Baruch. Everyone is very helpful and is always looking out for my best interests. In fact, when I was struggling academically this semester, my professors, academic adviser, and fellow students were there to quickly help me get back on my feet. It was moving to see how much everyone cares about each individual’s well-being. I would like to especially thank Mr. Medina, my academic adviser. He is an amazing resource in this college and it is great that he is always there when I need guidance or advice. In general, the faculty is awesome. Baruch College has truly amassed a group of the intellectual elite to instruct it’s students. I am always fascinated by the material in each of my classes, especially my business classes. Professor Gagliardi and Professor O’Malley are truly geniuses in their field. Their real life experiences in the business world really show through in their lessons. I always find that I leave their classrooms with some very useful real world knowledge. It definitely adds validity to what we are learning in class. Finally, I want to touch on the awesome friends I have made during my first semester here at Baruch. Everyone in my learning community has become very close in the past months. We have made some everlasting relationships that we will probably carry with us throughout the rest of our lives. We have learned to seek each other for advice and use our learning community as an intellectual springboard to reach great new academic heights.
