When i decided that i was going to baruch i thought it wasent going to be a good choice for me, since i didnt want to go there in the first place, the college atmosphere that i think i belong in is one that have all the multiple things that make a college experiance fun like partying, dorming, freedom, but here at Baruch i have non of that. The partying part ok i have a little of that but all the other stuff i dont, and i regret not having that. The main reason why i came to Baruch is because i have to work, thats the main reason, its close to were i work and i live about 40 mins away. Even though i hate it, i still have to do it.

I think my first semester is going pretty well. Im really happy with the teachers i got, and i couldn’t ask for a better schedule. And my grades are pretty good so I’m happy.

I would manage my time more properly, everything is kind of mixed up for me right now, with work, school, and my personal life, so if started my hole semester over again, i would defiantly manage my time better.

I don’t think i changed at all, Baruch didn’t really impact me personally.

The workshop was really helpful for me, that was the extra advice I needed in order to finish my resume that I have been working on for some time know. It didn’t help me do my resume since i finished it already, it helped me a lot with the cover letter since i didn’t even know we needed a cover letter so thats a +. And it helped me choose which classes i wanted to register for next semester.

To tell you the truth I didn’t really learn anything from the museum, it was really boring however i thought it was really nice, that it had a spiral staircase which was really cool, and the cafe looked really good as well, but other than that ,it was really boring a dull. Waste of time…

My name is benny nigri, I live in brooklyn. Im jewish, my father from lebanon/ israel, my moms from here. My hobbies are basketball, and working out. So far school has been pretty good i met some pretty chill people, and I like all my classes.
One of the things that has been most difficult for me in college, is commuting. I HATE waking up 645 for school, its enough that i have to even wake up at that time, but what makes it worse is that i have to take the train and wait another hour or so. Another things that has been kind of difficult is working right after school. I usually get to work at 2, when i should be coming in at 930 10, and I have to stay on top of my game at work making sure everyone suppose to be doing what there doing. I work for my dad, and he expects me to get the stuff i have to do done ( which I always do), to move on. I guess I cant fix these problems but its just something i have to deal with for know.

Im an 18 year old, jewish,easy to get along with, tall guy. Born and raised in brooklyn. My hobbies are, working out, and playing ball.

Top 3 concerns—

1) Getting to school on time. I have the tendancy of getting to school late since my classes are preety early, plus I have about a 45 min ride.I feel that my grade is being screwed with, even though I might not know it.

2) I work aswell so keeping up with school is a big concern for me since somtimes I wont get home till 9 at night, and i wouldnt have enough time to even do my work since ill be wiped out.

3) One of my major concerns at baruch are the midterms and finals. I keep thinking to myself if i fail one of those in any class, i automatically fail that class no questions asked, even if i have a great average , still wont make a difference.

What would make my Baruch experiance different from others is , the fact of being with people from different cultures. In high school, all the kids were basically somewhat jewish. So its kind of good to be affiliated with other kids from different cultures.

The first year of college has been changing me, its taught me how to be responisble, and theres noone that you can rely on here but yourself. Its my job to get the work done, not like high school were they cared. Here your basically on your own, and thats a way it has been changing me.
