Overall, I am really loving it at Baruch. I love the buildings and the environment. I get along well with the people here and everyone always seems ready to help freshmen. My experience at Baruch has exceeded my expectations for the college in various ways. For one, I feel like I am a part of a community because I am a member of a business club called Ascend. Also, I try to take advantage of everything the campus has to offer so I use the Writing Center and gym often. I also enjoy my classes and feel like I am doing well in them. One thing I probably still have to work on is time management and prioritizing my assignments.
If I could do something differently during my first semester, I would simply be more active and organized. I want to be active and engaging with the Baruch campus while organized so that still take care of important things first.
Since being a freshman at Baruch, I have developed into a more eager to learn person. In high school, I felt more reserved and focused on school only, but that’s changed now. Now, I am more active in the community and I try to attend many events to learn as much as I can. I realized that it is very important to share and create great connections in college, It is almost as important as doing well in studies itself. I feel more inspired to learn since there are a lot more opportunities in college than there are in high school. Overall, I have changed into a more outgoing person.
