Hey, I’m Kevin Campbell and I am a freshman at Baruch College. I am 17 years old and turning 18 on November 1st. I love the city which is one of the main reasons that I am attending Baruch. I am a very friendly person and I enjoy meeting new people everyday. I like hanging out with friends and going places. I also love playing sports such as basketball and I look forward to taking advantage of Baruch’s gymnasium during my time here.
My main goals that I desire to accomplish at Baruch are maintaining a good GPA, joining numerous clubs so I can stay active in the school, and becoming an accounting major. I hope to receive much experience at Baruch so I can be ready for the real world and get a good job with a respectable starting salary. This is very important to me due to the shape our economy is in presently. I received a Dean’s Scholarship and go to school for $320 bucks a year which is pretty awesome. I have to maintain either a 3.2 GPA or a 3.5 GPA. I am not sure but I should probably find that out soon.
I am only taking 4 classes this semester. I was originally taking 5 like everyone else but I got dropped from my english class because I already had enough credits for it from College Now. I was really excited when I found out that I did not have to take english because that is my worst class. I also hear that she gives tons of homework so I am relieved.
I am looking forward to completing my first year here to truly gain the knowledge and experience of living a college life. I am excited to discover what direction my life goes in from this point and am looking forward to accomplishing new aspirations and ventures.

Baruch won’t exactly ensure that you’ll experience the “college life” but im happy that you’re considering getting involved with extracurricular activities. If you enjoy basketball i strongly recommend you try out for the team. Go down there and find out if they’ve started.
Remember that to keep you GPA up and maintain your scholarship, you’ll need to manage your time effectively. Use your breaks wisely!
Good luck!
If you want to do accounting, you’re at the right place! Baruch has an amazing accounting program! Baruch has a great career development center which will prep you for the real world. We will talk more about the center in the class. Keep up your GPA! I believe it’s 3.5 for Dean’s scholar… You should check it out asap!
Definitely try out for basketball team. That will surely keep you active 🙂
