Final Blog Post
As my first semester draws to a close I am grateful for all the friends I have made in the last four months. The most interesting part of Baruch’s student body is the extreme level of diversity. I am still amazed at how different everyone’s background is at Baruch. For once in my life I was the minority which provided me with an entirely new perspective that I was never presented with in my quiet suburban life in Warwick.
When I first arrived at Baruch my perception of college was different. I had been to campuses in Upstate New York and Pennsylvania State University and found them to be overrated and utterly contained environments. I can say that even though there is no real campus here at Baruch, we have the advantage of being right in the middle of one of the most important cities in the world. Our campus is New York City and it is always moving and always changing, thus promoting us to adapt to our surroundings There is so much here in this city that we can benefit from culturally and professionally that so many college students our age don’t have access to.
Like others have said in their posts, now that I have experienced college I am ready to take on the responsibilities that go with it. I hope the rest of my time here is as influential as the first semester has been. I wish the best of luck to all of my classmates in their journey’s at Baruch.
