Walking around campus, you find that there seems to be more hidden treasures every time you enter the building. There are endless activities on campus and it seems that everyone can find a place that they truly belong in. Not only are there many different clubs and activities here at Baruch, but the actual building itself has a lot of things to do as well. Despite the large and impressive club selections you have here, clubs are not for everybody. I’ve never really been one to be involved in club life, and if I did happen to join a club, I would probably show up to one meeting and forget about it. However, if you aren’t too fond of the commitment of club life like me, it still is a good idea to explore the campus and be aware of the many events and rooms here. One of my favorite places to go in Baruch is the library. If you haven’t used the library recently, I strongly recommend you go! The resources are unlimited and it is a bare necessity when you have an upcoming exam. There are study rooms that you can rent with your friends that give you that extra study silence you need.
There are many cool rooms in the Newman building as well! The game room located on the third floor is a lively space where many different students come here to destress. There is a foosball table and ping pong tables as well. I went with my friends, Thomas and Jose, after class and we were surprised at how many students were there. It seems like a great place to meet new people easily and have fun at the same time. If you are a virtuoso, there is a room full of pianos on the 7th floor! You can practice the piano anytime you want and finally learn that song you’ve always wanted to learn. All in all, even if you haven’t joined a club yet, there are still many ways you can be involved in student life here at Baruch!
