a. Tell us how your experience at Baruch College has lived up to your expectations? Not lived up to your expectations? Exceeded your expectations?
Coming into college, I was honestly quite nervous – I was nervous about whether I would be able to handle the workload, what professors I would be getting, being able to get good grades, meet new people etc, however coming into Baruch, it’s been surprisingly quite a pleasant and fulfilling experience. I met some great people that I know I want to keep in touch with and I was also able to become more organized and manage my time more efficiently.

b. How well do you think your first semester at Baruch College went?
At first, I would say my biggest challenge was being able to manage my time well – I would constantly be getting caught up doing other things, and before I would realized, I’d be finishing a paper at 4am, and that would affect the quality of my work. So definitely time management is an aspect that I’m still trying to improve.

c. What would you do differently during your first semester if you could do it all again?
I would do more research into the classes I was taking so I wouldn’t be caught off guard as much as I am now with Art History for example.

d. How have you changed since you started at Baruch College?
I have become more responsible and active in terms of finishing assignments in a timely manner and have also gained more confidence with my  public speaking.
