Homecoming for a CUNY school wasn’t what I expected. It was really cool to see al the activities that were provided for the students and new ways to join clubs, meet new people, watch a funny sports game and be introduced to the many cultures of Baruch. Brittany and I really wanted to get Henna but we kept missing the booth, it was upsetting but it would’ve been cool if we were able to get it because from what we saw the other people getting it was gorgeous. We also then went to the gym and watched a flag football game, it was all fun and games at first but then it got really serious when some of our classmates decided to join the game. It almost felt like a real life sports experience because we got the foam fingers, t-shirts, and those cheerleader type pom poms. It was really fun and cool to hang out with everyone and have something to do to pass the 3 hour wait period before our next class. It’s nice to see how Baruch really tries to have a “private” college experience for Homecoming. I really feel like I’m getting used to the school and I’m not scared to meet people as much anymore. Now I know that I’ll be ready for next semester, I of course won’t be perfect and will have a couple of slip ups but that’s part of the college experience. Homecoming, club hours, the freshman seminar classes and all the offices that Baruch has to offer is a part of the experience. They are all there to help when you think you have now where else to go. Now even with the advisors that are given to us it will make the process easier. Homecoming was such a fun time and it made me realize that Baruch is an even bigger community than I thought it was.
