The first semester went by unexpectedly fast. I have to say Baruch has lived up to my expectations. I think that the idea of blocks was a good one for the first semester; it helped us make friends even through a class with 500 people. I know that for myself, in a class of 500 people, it’s very difficult to get to know people, but gladly I was able to make friends both in and out of my blog. Also I believe that joining a club can greatly impact your college experience. Being a part of a club helps u keep engaged and involved in school, especially through the three hours on tues and thurs.
My first semester went really well, for the most part. The professors were fairly okay, and so were the classes. The classes were not difficult and which them fairly easy to balance. I wouldn’t really do anything differently, I feel like the semester was good, my commute isn’t bad and I have actually managed to make friends. College has taught me to be more organize and responsible. I know that I can’t leave my work for the last minute and expect a good grade. I know that I’ve at least become somewhat of a better writer because I am actually trying and have seen that it helps a great deal when you visit professors during office hours.
Overall I think I had a good first semester and am actually looking forward to next semester =)
