My experience at Baruch College has lived up to my expectations and exceeded them for many reasons. One of the most important reasons is because Baruch College has a team of dedicated teachers who care about each individual student and their growth. I can email each professor individually or ask questions in class and they always offer helpful advice. The education itself is very good as I hope I can get into more business classes next semester. I took Music, History, Psychology, Freshman Seminar, English, and Philosophy but I cant decide which one was my favorite besides Freshman Seminar. Freshman Seminar actually aided in my transition from High School to College because it broke down all the great programs in Baruch College so I didn’t have to search for them myself.
I feel that my first semester at Baruch College went very well because I was able to meet many new people, explore the campus, and get a feel for what college classes entail.
If I was asked “what would you do differently during your first semester if you could do it all again” I would answer I would like to choose my classes. In the beginning of the semester all the freshman were forced to pick out a schedule from a list of block classes and I didn’t like the fact that I was forced to take certain classes at certain times. I would have enjoyed Baruch College slightly more if I was able to control my own fate so to speak.
I have changed since I started Baruch in very few ways. Basically, I became more independent when I started to take the Subway every day by myself as opposed to City Bus which I took in New York. I was also exposed to many different kinds of people from different cultures so I was able to communicate with interesting people. I also took classes like music which I have never taken before in High School so it was very new and interesting.
I like Baruch College and hopefully I can have success here for my last seven semesters!
