Over all I would say that I am pretty happy with how things have gone. It has been a tough transition in a way because I miss my High School, my graduated class, and the close knit community that we had. Baruch is completely different but I am glad that I met some pretty great people. This school is so diverse and everyone that I have made friends with has had a different story to tell. Ultimately I am glad that I am here. The classes are interesting and you have so many choices of what you can learn about.
When I started getting back letters from colleges and financial aid packages I was extremely disappointed. I had my heart set on going to a private school outside of New York. I wanted a change of scenery after spending most of my life here. Today I visited my High School and I had a really great conversation with my college adviser, who is also like a friend. He had helped me through many tough times and frustrations. More than anyone he knew how upset I was about going to a CUNY, so I had to tell him how I felt now. I am glad that I stayed in the city. New York is the capital of the world and given everything that I want to accomplish and experience it is a perfect fit. Looking back if I was anywhere else like PA or Connecticut I would have probably gotten extremely bored of the campus very quickly. Its funny how the things you don’t expect end up being the perfect fit.
