Going to this museum truly showed me the power of having a Baruch ID. With my ID, I was able to get into the museum completely for free, and was able to walk around for as long as I pleased. I ended up bringing a friend from the freshman seminar class, and we walked around for about an hour just exploring the vast artifacts that are contained at this museum, such as African Gold, Greek and Roman stained glass, and many other artifacts. I learned things yesterday that I would’ve never known if it were not for my student ID, because I would’ve never went in the first place if I did not have incentive. Our Baruch IDs also let us get into various other museums around NYC, and I plan on continuing to go, free at cost, throughout the rest of my semester here, as you learn a lot of things going to these museums. You would think that walking around a museum is not a lot of fun, and probably the last thing you’d want to do as a freshman in college, but it really opened my eyes and broadened my horizons. This museum will also help me in my government class, because we saw artifacts from collapsed governments, and were able to witness just how greedy these governments got before they ended up separating. As a freshman in college in one of the biggest cities in the world, their are probably a million other things an average college student would want to do, but these students also do not have access to these free amenities like we students at Baruch have. I highly suggest everyone take advantage of all the free stuff we can do, because people around the world come to NYC just to do these activities that we have access too everyday, and they pay a lot of money to do them!
