The Baruch ESA Club doesn’t ring too far from home. When I was in high school, I was a part of a similar club. Although I had already plan to go to other clubs that would serve a more practical purpose in helping my college experience, a few of my friends who are upperclassmen, are already a part of this club. I had only plan to visit this club for the first few minutes before I would move on to meeting the other clubs.
One of the perks of joining this club is that you are allowed to access a computer lab, which has a set of high end computers. My friend who was a part of the ESA division one team told me that I would only have to join for a few minutes, and I would be given the rights to the computer lab.
Although I did intend to only stay for a few minutes, I decided to give my respect and stayed for the entire presentation before moving on to seeing other clubs. The club was in a small room, not enough seats for all of the members, however it is a friendly community. Everyone who was a part of this club already knew the interest of others. After the presentation was the refreshments, pizza from 7-eleven, which I personally only took one bite.
Overall it is a club that I could relate to. The environment, and the gaming culture of the people around the club are of familiar territory. I am searching for a new experience as I embark into the life of Baruch. This club is not my first choice, but I was able to kill two birds with one stone. Access to the computer labs and the experience to write this blog.
