Hi, i’m Mir. I am from Bangladesh. I have been living in New York for one and half year as an immigrant. I have completed high school from my country. Baruch College is my first educational institution in USA. So, I am tying cope with the new environment. Living here feels like a whole new life. I have so much to learn about this society. Also the city is pretty hectic. I am tying to get used to it.
My concerns about the freshman year are language, friend, test . English is my second language. Obviously I’m not fluent. Also I did not attend high school or any kind of institute to learn the language in USA. I’m relying on my previous experience to communicate with others. Still trying to improve it. I am concerned that I may struggle with tests because it is different from my country. I really miss my friends from my country. But I look forward to making new friends. Most of the students here are really nice and friendly.
College experience will certainly be different from high school. In high school it was teacher’s duty to prepare us but in college I have to prepare myself and do a lot of study of my own.
My first year experience in college will help me to became familiarize with this new environment. Also I am hoping I will be more assertive and be involved with college life. Most importantly, I want to make lots of friends and have a lot of fun while learning all new things.
