I came to Baruch College with very low expectations on social life and making friends. After reading tons of reviews on the college and it’s poor social life, it wasn’t something I would look forward to at all. All I expected was intense stress from the college workload and spending over 2 hours a day commuting back and forth just like the majority of other students at Baruch. However LC20 proved me wrong. I’m so grateful to have met such a group of humorous people that are all very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. It’s nearly impossible to make friends in individual classes, especially lecture halls. And LC20 made it possible for me to easily adapt in the transition to college. One thing I would’ve done differently is study harder and finish assignments in a timely fashion (philosophy homework…). I’m still in the process of learning how to manage my time, considering how much freedom we have. I’m starting to think short-term deadlines are better than long-term ones like philosophy class for instance. Too much freedom can easily be abused. All in all my first semester at Baruch College was pretty good, all thanks to LC20.
