Baruch is exactly what i expected, commuter school, most people are doing business, and the classes are challenging. Overall I like the school. Althoough Baruch isnt socially the best, baruch is where you wanna be if you wanna succeed in life. It helps you mature quicker then kids in other schools and Im noticing it myself.

Hey I’m Tarik Bouzourene, I’m a laid back kid who loves to have fun with his friends and crack jokes, we’re always doing crazy stuff that other people are too scared to do. I went to Plainview old Bethpage high school. I loved high school especially senior year. Senior was a year of strictly fun being reckless and bonding with friends since your childhood. Now Baruch on the other hand is totally different. At Baruch everything is strictly business… literally. Everyone’s on an agenda and no one really sits back to take time and enjoy their college life. They just walk into school, walk out and go straight home. Not like I wasn’t warned that Baruch would be like this but its just weird to see it for yourself…in person. I mean the only thing I really feels as though helps me bond with people in the school is being on the swim team. I’ve been swimming all my life and being recruited by Baruch and swimming with all the students on the team reminds me somewhat of what I miss in high school which is good.  Seeing them everyday and knowing that their going through the same thing your going through between school and practice keeps you up beat and motivated feeling as though your not alone and not the only one going through the same struggles. But besides being a student and a swimmer I’m also an older brother and lifeguard at Lifetime fitness. My brother is 15 years old and his name is Adam he is annoying at times yet I still miss having him around all the time. Lifetime Fitness is an upscale gym in Syosset, Long Island. Its received the award of being a diamond gym club meaning the best in its class. Some things you should know that make it so special is that there are 7 pools, 2 water slides, rock climbing wall, 2 basketball courts, boxing ring, full spa and salon, café, full gym with top of the line machines, and child center.

Hey my name is Tarik Bouzourene, I’m freshman at Baruch and so far I love it! I’m from Plainview, long island. Pretty much your typical suburban town. I liked it a lot but always wanted to live in the city so when I found out Baruch had dorms in Ludlow I signed right up. My favorite sports are swimming and formula 1. I’ve been swimming competitively since I was 10 and am swimming for Baruch this coming season. Formula one is my favorite sport to watch on TV just because I have always had a passion for cars (especially Ferrari).
When people first meet me the first thing they ask me is what’s my nationality and I’m guessing that’s what you guys are thinking right now, I am Algerian, French, and Italian. I like to have fun and crack jokes. All and all I’m a really fun person to be around and am looking forward to getting to know you all better after class..
