Two weeks ago, I recived a post card from Baruch College, it says “freshman reception”. I was not sure what it was and I did not realize how important it was. After one week I recived the card, I got a e-mail from our college which explained to me what the freshman reception was going to do. It is going to tell us the imformation about majors and minors, how to use Degree Works and what is GPA. Because college is new to me, I want to know more imformation about college, I decided to go there.
At SEP 23th 12:30 PM I went to the 5th floor, the Advisment office. It was a long line there, all the students there were freshman, I though they might be facing the same problem as me. After I waited in the line for 10 minute, it was my turn. I went in front of one adviser and she asked me to enter my SSN. After she verified my freshman status as other students, she gave me a quick smile and asked me to follow another group to go to anorther classroon, 3165. Before we entered that class, an assistor sent us some small books which were introductions to the majors, minors and GPA system. Every student was talking about it to each other. After about ten minutes one adviser came in and gave us a very detailed and patient speech. She told us everything that we were suposed to know. She talked about twenty minutes and then gave us a couple of minutes to ask her any questions that we did not quite understand. Then we went back to the advisement office and the adviser classed our big group as five small groups. We sat there and played a lot of games, We were enjoying there and had a good time there!
Through the Freshman reception, I had a good time and I am not confused about the college any more. At the same time, I am sue that I and all the freshman are welcome in baruch, it gives us any kinds of progarm to help us to get over the transition from high school to college. I think I make a wise dicision to enroll in Baruch College and I am sure that all the students who study there will have a good future in their lives.
