Let me make this simple, Baruch College did not meet my expectations. I came into the college starstruck by its amazing campus, but it was watered down with the students IN Baruch. I honestly felt the only people that had a breath of life in the campus were my high school/middle school friends, and the people in my block program. I came into the college believing that everyone were close knit. However, it wasn’t the case, things seems so lifeless, no smiles, headphones on ears, cigarette smoke, coffee in hand; it was the common things you see coming into the school. It’s a commuting school, so I honestly don’t know. But if you’re in the school for 6+ hours, with breaks, at least try to socialize.
I would have just done better for my first semester. But life circumstances kept me from doing so. Oh well; whatever happens, happens.
I don’t see myself changed, but I do see myself losing my social life. I have friends in my block program, and they’re great people, but it’s the environment that drags on for me, the cold, lifeless people in suits just get to me. Am I going to be like that if I stay in Baruch? Is everything going to be JUST numbers?
I don’t know.
