Blog Post 3: My Baruch Experience

It is hard to believe that my first semester at Baruch College has reached its end. The time went by too quick. Although it was fast paced, I am still able to evaluate my experience at Baruch up to now. The part of Baruch that really exceeded my expectations is the technology available to the staff and students. The amount of computers distributed throughout the school and library is just amazing. Being able to sit down in the library, and actually be able to think to myself without any disturbances was more than comforting. The students in my freshman seminar class were a great bunch of people, and I really enjoyed getting to know them. However, the unfortunate part of attending a college in the city is that everyone goes to class, and then goes about their lives, without much interaction between peers. Learning wise, I feel as though my first semester went well. With finals week coming up, I feel as though that might be the biggest challenge yet. I also learned that in the future I will have my share of not too good professors, but I have to get used to them because they’re there. The one thing I would do differently is study more, and force myself to study. I have to because this semester I felt very lazy to do any work at times. The only change I went through by attending Baruch College is being accustomed to a new place. I have learned to ask questions, because it is the best way to avoid getting lost around school, and in my schoolwork.
