My first semester- Omar Abdel Salam

I really enjoyed my first semester at baruch college. I had alot of fun with my LC and made a bunch of new friends through the group work we had to do for projects and just through hanging out with them after class. In the beginning of the semester I was actually nervous about making new friends. Honestly, I thought the majority of people in college would be stuck up, but it was actually the complete opposite. Everyone was very nice and helpful whether it be professors, other students and peer mentors. I was really able to assimilate into college based on the learning bloc I was in as wel as freshman seminar. One thing I was fearfu of was making classes for next semester and after we had the class speaker that explained how to make classes I elt better and more confident about making my schedule for next semeter. In my eyes that was the two most helpful parts about freshman seminar and the learning community was the fact that it made it easier for us to make friends and taught us how to make classes for next semester.
