Baruch definitely exceed my expectations. I wanted a place where I could meet new people and experience New York but after reading things about Baruch over the internet and hearing about the campus from some people, I really thought that Baruch was going to be so boring because its a commuter school. People just go to class and go home and no one has a social life. I still think this is true but I truly feel that my first semester would not be the same without the block experience. It gives you an opportunity to get to know the people in your classes. I have met some of the coolest, most chill people I have ever met in my life. I so thankful to have met each and every one of them and hope we keep in touch after this semester. But I’ll know how well my first semester went when I get my grades. If I could do this semester over again, I would try to attend every class, take better notes in Biology and Math, and stop PROCRASTINATING!! I need to discipline myself and train myself to be a better student because this education is really all I have and my parents spend too much money for me to just waste this opportunity. I have so much at my disposal living here, I just want to make the most of it. I don’t think I really changed after coming to Baruch, I have just become a more open person. Open to new things, new people, new life.
