My experience at Baruch has live up to my expectations. When I originally applied for Baruch, I expected to meet new friends, do better in classes, as well as be able to have more time to myself. In many ways this is true, though at certain times, such as times around midterms, the workload seems to pile up. I was hoping there could be a way in which teachers could collaborate to promote a more stress free environment, but unfortunately that would take a lot of work and I don’t see that happening anytime in the near future.
I think my first semester didn’t go as well as I had planned originally. I’ve had many sleepless nights due to either poor time management or stress from assignments all converging on one week.
If I could do it all again, I would be more on top of my work. I would also be more active in my social life in Baruch. They may seem contradictory, but they probably could work together somehow. Other than that, I don’t really see anything else I could do to improve my experience. Perhaps join a team.
I don’t believe that I’ve really changed much. Perhaps I’ve gotten lazier in some sense, but overall I believe that I’m the same as I’ve always been. One notable difference may be that I am beginning to appreciate 70s and B’s.
