Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DMC

Japanese Anime Asylum

My experience with the Japanese Anime Asylum was an amazing one. The members of the club and the students in charge of the club were extremely nice. Despite being late to the club I was greeted with an overwhelming amounts of acceptance, the moment I stepped into the room I felt a warm and soothing atmosphere. They were in the middle of their club game day to have everyone get to know each other and to enjoy the common interest of the Japanese art of animation. They had a dice rolling trivia game to kind of test how well the members knew anime, the game had different categories like opening songs, quotes, player choice, silhouettes, etc. The club provided snacks and refreshments which was nice of them. Looking in I noticed strangers getting along and being friends with one another. The people were very laid back and chill they seemed easy to be approached and easy to be friends with. The club leaders were enthusiastic about what they were promoting in the club. Being inside the club I felt like I was at home with a group of people with the same interests as me whom felt like family. Although the room was small the stuffy everyone dealt with it and the club leaders are planning to try to get a bigger room since the amount of turnout for the club exceeded their expectations. Overall this was a great first experience of what student life at Baruch was and I feel like I will enjoy my time here regardless of what ever club I am going to be in or any activities on campus that will be hosted I look forward to my student life here.
