so it has occured to me that a number of kids are planning to transfer out of this school sometime in the near future ( me being one of them). i dont know why i dont like this school. i guess my reason is that it doesnt have dorms or even anything going on….i feel as if students that attend schools that have dorms and live away from parents are getting the true college experience. to me this school is just like high school except with a much longer commute. there really is no unity in this school and this depresses me. i love the friends that i have made here but they all want to leave and i dont want to be the only one left i do decide to stay here. some of y friends have already transferred out… the only thing that keeps me coming back to this school is that i know every tuesday and thursday i get to play basketball with friends and really get to know a bunch of other people that i know i would never have been able to meet. but in the end this is just my opinion. i wanna hear what you guys have to say about this school

Amen. I mean, I like Baruch and all but I think the only reason I like it is because I get to be in the city and whatnot. I’m already looking for other schools and for the same reasons a lot of people are saying. There really is no student life at all, or school unity. I thought living at home would be cool but it’s not as great as I imagined it, and life would be SO much easier if I lived in the city for going to the library and going out in general (being drunk on the bus back to Jersey at 3AM is not a good experience AT ALL). Being a college student is fun, being a Baruch student really isn’t.
lol..i definetly agree. my brother keeps telling me how fun college is for him and i keep thinking whats wrong with me???
before i came here, i didn’t think i would be transferring, but after experiencing this, i’ll most probably be leaving aswell.
this feels way too much like high school and i didn’t come to another country to have the same experience…-_-
i love the people i’ve met here tho and i’m definetly gonna miss the friends i’ve made.
but since most of them are leaving, there’s no reason for me to stay either.
yea, too tell you the truth, i dont plan graduating from baruch. ill probably be transfering after 2 years. college is a lot different than how i pictured it back when i was 9
haha thanks guys. i was planning on staying the remainder of the year and worry about transferring next year.
I agreee with all of you. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of transferring too. Coming to Baruch is mainly because of its “famous” business courses however there are other colleges that are good at them too. Coming and leaving school make me sick too. I was often wondering if it’s really a wise decision of staying in NYC for college. Anyway, just hang on for another semester or so and let’s see how it comes out.
Baruch is a high school!!…All we do is go to class with the same people since we’re in a block. We’ll actually be choosing our classes for next term soon so maybe you’ll have an opportunity to meet more people that’ll be sticking around. If you do transfer out then good luck to you. Just make sure your positive that you don’t want to go here. I heard its near impossible to get back in once you leave. (this info isn’t really reliable).
When I first walked into this school, I felt as if I was going to a funeral. (I have no idea why though) It had a dreary and depressing feeling to it. I do feel as if I’m not getting the true college experience being here because friends who went dorming are always telling me exciting stories about what they did each day. -.- (makes me feel as if I have no social life……maybe I don’t lol) There are parts of me that want to transfer but am still not positive and time isn’t going by any slower. Being in this school isn’t so bad, especially that I don’t have to do my own laundry is a plus (after hearing from so and so they are running out of clean clothes to wear). =) I think college is meant for people to meet more people, so friends’ leaving the school is inevitable. But don’t worry you’ll make more.
