As a whole i was extremely dissapointed about freshman seminar. I feel like it was created with good intentions but was went about in the wrong way. It was made to help us adjust to the college life style and help answer all of our questions. I personally feel like it made my first semester at Baruch College much harder than necessary. As if all of the papers and tests i was dealing with werent enough, i also had to worry about going to workshops and writing these blogs. It was extremley difficult for me to find time to go to the workshops between my job and classes. Overall i felt like Irina and Manting were very helpful and did a great job. But i still think that for the next freshman class the freshman seminar should be made optional.
