Club Fair – Student Life

At the Baruch Club Fair at the Main Gym on Thursday, there were tons of clubs and people everywhere. I expected there to be more clubs, but I did find some pretty interesting groups such as F.U.S.I.O.N., Japan Club, Archery Club, Billiards and Bowling and a ballroom dancing club of some sort. The Japan Club displays were very attractive because there was a sign that said “MUST WATCH ANIME!” The club was also doing a  raffle for a very cute prize and a contest for a chance to win a free trip to Japan in 2010. As I continued looking for more interesting clubs, I found one called “Handball Maniacs,” which allows club members to join tournaments and to win trophies. As the current members gave me the last handball on the table, they explained that members are not required to play and may watch and learn the concept of the game instead. Although the gym was packed with people everywhere, it was an enriching event worth participating in, to get involved in school.

Club Fair–Student Life

Today, I went to the Baruch Club Fair. There were rows of tables down at the Main Gym, and attached to those tables were the names of various clubs. There were a lot of people and it was somewhat difficult to see what the clubs were, but overall, I managed to see what they were all about. There were a lot less clubs than I expected, but I managed to sign up for two clubs, and I met someone new.
BTW For one of the clubs (I can’t remember which one) that I went to, you had to sign up for membership online, and you had to pay for the membership. So be sure to ask them specific questions about signing up for the clubs.

Freshman Reception in the Center for Academic Advisement

Last thursday, the 17th, i attended the freshman reception in room 5-125. There was a whole crowd there, but i managed to get in pretty quickly. We had to sign up in the front for records and a woman handed out a folder of useful papers. We were then escorted to a table in a room and a mentor came and talked to us about the required courses for various majors. We had chances to ask questions and they were somewhat answered.

It was all good but there was way too many people cramped in.

Freshman Reception Workshop–Student Life

On Thursday, I attended the Freshman Reception workshop. When I went, they weren’t handing out any folders or documents. But my friend had a copy, and I was able to see what it was all about.
Basically it was all about the majors and minors that Baruch offered. If you look into the school’s website and the school’s bulletin, you would see that it contains all of the information (maybe even more) about the majors and minors that Baruch offers. 
But, if you’re curious, it wouldn’t hurt to get a copy of the documents and look it over.
