Baruch held its annual Study Abroad Fair on September 14th. I have always entertained the idea of studying in another country.There is a plethora of opportunities to grow as an individual. Think about it, by studying abroad we are pushed out of our comfort zone. We have to experience a new culture and language. As young men and women, we are able to experience diversity firsthand. Furthermore, this allows us to appreciate difference, as a good thing. A completely new environment, new education system. As I made my way to each college info desk. The students who were explaining about the colleges, were actually students there. They just so happen to be studying abroad at Baruch for a semester. This was great because their experiences are very genuine. They told us what they did for school as well as their social life. For the most part, every student would rather talk about the social life than academics. They always mentioned how there is parties everyday. There is a variety of nightclubs that are very easy on a student’s wallet. The most interesting thing that various students pointed out about their college is that there courses are relatively easy. Easy in the sense that attendance is not mandatory. The grade for the course is based on the midterm and final. Homework is pretty much non-existent. In order to help the students studying abroad from America, the college would offer courses in English making the assimilation process, much easier. Henceforth, I am very excited of the idea to study abroad. The decision to pick a city is difficult, since the options are endless. The good thing is that I still have some time to make a decision.
