In a word, surprising. Freshman year has turned out to be quite different than I expected. Though, in some ways it still feels a lot like high school (I guess that’s just what happens when you commute to school), there are a lot of things that I didn’t realize. First, I didn’t realize it would be so difficult to adjust to living on my own. With no one there to make sure I woke up on time, it was rather difficult making it to class at 7:50 AM.
I also didn’t realize that being in a block would be helpful. At first, I was extremely annoyed that I would have to see the same people in every class (no offence guys). It just reminded me too much of high school. But having people there who know what your experiencing in each class (and can help you with homework) is a life saver.
Probably the most important thing that I learned this term is that I like Baruch. I entered with every intention of transferring as soon as I could, but now I’m really not so sure.
