Before I came to Baruch, I always imagined college life to be different and less “friendly”. When I say “less friendly”, I meant it as in, of course kids would have friends, but most kids would be to themselves or not bother making much friends since this a commuter school as well. However, during the past 3 months I learned that Baruch college was nothing new to me. I think this is because my high school was on York College campus, where I had the college resources and somewhat of a college lifestyle. For me, Baruch feels like high school all over again especially because we were put into blocs. However, as you can tell from my picture, that is how I depict college now. Nothing has changed, except the fact that no one cares whether you come to class or not, do your homework, or even take your exams. Honestly, in the beginning, I was a little iffy about Baruch. I knew I wanted to major in business but also questioned myself whether I wanted to stay in Baruch for the next few years. I still don’t know if I want too; however, after the first month or two, Baruch has gotten a lot more comfortable. From time to time, I wish we had a real campus with trees and grass and everything, however, sometimes it feels nice to just stay in one building now that the weather is changing. Overall, what made Baruch bearable would be with the help of my friends. Without them, I would never know when what was due and how to do what.

    Jane, thank you for sharing this. Sometimes new experiences do not live up to our experiences- especially when we have a block schedule. Hopefully over the next semester or two you will have new experiences that shape your opinion on Baruch and whether or not you want to stay at the school. Support of friends helps and I am sure having more control over your schedule will help you make the deicsion.
