First off I would like to say that this was a great block and I wouldn’t have asked to spend my first semester with any other people <3
Well my expectation of coming to college was what they show you on tv like football games, frat house parties and campus life. Baruch has none of those things but it makes up for it with the location in the city (which I have definitely taken advantage of), other sports teams and tons of clubs and frats to get involved in. Although I haven’t really been involved in anything this semester because I was busy exploring the city and settling into my classes, next semester I want to join a bunch of clubs and get so more school spirit!
My first semester at Baruch college was great. I moved to the city, experienced an earthquake, hurricane, snowstorm and I also got to see a bunch of protests. Well other than what was in the news I also met a bunch of amazing people and had some really great classes. I’m glad that I chose to be in an LC.
What I would have done differently during my first semester if I could do it all over again would be to switch my precalc class for a different professor as soon as possible. The teacher was not a good fit for me and I ended up having to drop the class which means I have less credits than I should this semester.
I believe I became more mature and responsible since I started at Baruch College because now that I am living on my own I have to rely on myself to balance school. I have no one to yell at me anymore or tell me what to do.
