I initially chose Baruch because of their highly regarded business school. Baruch’s undergraduate business program is ranked among some of the most prestigiously recognized institutions across the nation, offering their students just as many wonderful opportunities, if not more, in the business realm, than any other college I took interest in.  Although, my time here at Baruch hasn’t been long there’s not much I can attest to other than what I have personally experienced. For starters, reviews on any CUNY always shed a poor light upon not only their academics but their learning environments. For me, my learning environment has been nothing short, of an intellectual safe zone. The classroom has always served as a place where I could share my opinionated voice and not have to render to an authoritative figure or groups of peers, making fun of me. My time here at CUNY Baruch, has not forced me to make any changes to my normal classroom participation routine. In the mean time, I do not find my classes challenging, but I am thankful I can use this time to adjust and learn more about my college, so that I can become more active in the future. I believe with the resources and connections Baruch has to offer, my academic life will only progress for the better and I look forward to see what’s to come.
