Baruch
The kids in Baruch just put in so much time into their work and its so mind-numbing how much time they put into their work. In a way, its a really good environment to be in but in another way, its really competitive as well. I do not know if I am able to hold up a good grade and I am constantly thriving to do better. This comes from not only helping my classmates, but also from helping myself. This process of explaining to my classmates what happened and what we learned does not only help them, but really helps me a lot in making sure I remember everything. They have so much information as well and this makes sure that I learn new things every time I review with them. The core of their education is so strong and I am so proud to be around a group of people like this.
I remember my first recollection of taking a class in Baruch was my math class in calculus. The first class had to do with limits and it was just so difficult to grasp the concepts that the professor was trying to teach. It was something I have encountered before, but never really got the hang of how to do with. With the assistance of other students that took the calculus course before, I was able to better understand limits and even pull off a good score on my test. Furthermore, they put in the time into their work so they are smart, but it is respectable that they put time into their work.
Aside from classroom environment and having a good experience with my classmates, I also like the library environment that Baruch provides. The library opens up to eleven o’clock sometimes and I am currently writing my blog here in this library. This quiet environment allows me to do work that I probably would not have gotten done if I was at home and gives me the opportunity to work in an environment promoting educational growth. I love how the schools is set up so that people are in a comfortable spot to work and they have the chance to lay back in their seat and enjoy the things that they are learning about. To me, an environment like this is essential to producing intelligent workers that will enter the work force with knowledge and reasoning skills.
Overall, I am very happy about my first semester in Baruch. From classmates to study environments set up by Baruch, I feel very comfortable with where I am at. This college not only provides an environment to study and learn, but more importantly, an environment that promotes future success and gives us good networks for the best possible development we can have.
