Before coming to Baruch College, I found studying or doing schoolwork at cafes and the library more effective than doing them at home. At home, there would be many distractions while in public places like cafes and the library, I would have to watch my behavior, therefore I would not get distracted as easily. After being accepted to Baruch College, one of the places I like the most is the library. It is convenient and very resourceful. There are also a lot of spaces to do work; I can find space to work with others or find space to work individually and enjoy quiet time. There are louder spots in the library but there are also many spots in the library where people do not talk as loudly or do not talk at all. Unlike going to a cafe, the Baruch library almost always has a seat. I think the library is convenient especially if you want to get started on an assignment right away in case you are busy on the day or time its due or if you want to settle on a space for you and your group mates to work on a project since it is a space easily accessible for all. At the library, everyone there has the same purpose as you; to get some work done, therefore I think it is a nice common ground as well. Since the library is so close to the buildings where I have class, if I am doing a homework assignment or project but I am confused about something, clarification is easily accessible since I could just walk across a street or two to reach my professors. There are a lot of computers which can be accessed to sitting or standing and the 500 credits for printing is a generous allotment. Overall, the Baruch library is one of my favorite spots at Baruch college since there are so many resources and I find myself to be productive there.
