Better late than never, right? I’m Brian McMahon, I was born and raised in Washington Heights and now dorm in the Lower East Side on 101 Ludlow. I attended Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx where a played basketball for four years. Basketball is the main reason I came to Baruch because it was the best academic school that recruited me. I kind of wanted to leave the city for college but definitely appreciate how convenient staying in the city is. I am still able to hang out with a lot of my friends from my neighborhood and see my family whenever I want.
So far I like Baruch, for the most part. I was not nervous about making friends or meeting people here because I am not shy and do not get nervous easily. Also, I knew some kids on the basketball team already so i had people to ask for help if I needed it. Also I always have something to do during breaks. The thing I do not like, or simply have not adjusted to at Baruch is always having to check my e-mail and blackboard. I did realize that Phillip A. Hogue had sent me a personal e-mail 4 days ago telling me to do my first blog. I figured if it was from him I better do it..
