Hello everyone! im a freshman at baruch college, obviously, ive lived in brooklyn till i was 16 and then moved on to staten island so ive been living here for about 2 years? I went to midwood high school and was on the swim team freshman year and then went on to the handball team during my junior and senior years, i liked swimming but i think they took it too seriously which made me switch onto handball which was much more easygoing. anyways my three main concerns about baruch are
1: getting to school on time, this is actually a big problem for me im almost always late and that obviously not good i think im gonna have some problems with one of my classes just because of lateness…. i mean why do colleges have to be so strict about attendence in high school it was ok to be late, i mean not all the time but they wouldnt freak out about it, its these tiny things like attendence that make me think high school was better but of course both of them their advantages.
2:in high school I didnt really have to check my email that much so in college it seems to be kinda diffucult even though its such an easy task, i didnt check my mail for a week and there were like 40 unread messages!
3:uhh cant really think of one now i guess i would say getting used to how long the classes are? and the amount of work given? but i just gota suck it up and do it so yea.
High School and Baruch dont have many differences except for class length and amount of work other wise its pretty much the same, at first though ill admit i wasnt quite used to college but by now i think its ok, theres a variety of people and more free time as well as more oppurtunities. I think my first year at college would probably make me into a harder worker and a more organized person, because in high school it was much easier to slack off.
