So today I’ve been to the internship placement office, which is located in the building next to the library on the 8th floor.
They explain me how the program is working and I found it very interesting. This office is the link between students how are looking for an internship and company who are looking for students.
So basically, you filed a form, and say when you want to work, in which domain, paid or unpaid and all those informations.
Then you get an appointements with someone, you have to bring your resume.
It is pretty easy to apply to this program, and it brings many opportunity of internship.

The person who explain me everything also explain me that there were many companies in many various domains.

Today (03/01/17) I have been to an event called “Carry the Love”. First when I arrived, people were very nice, I sign in and then I found myself in the same room than the first day for the orientation. There was many people all listening to a girl on the stage. She was telling story about love, faith, and Jesus. Then I realize that it was a religious event, and that people from the organization was trying to make people believe in Jesus, and in their religion.
It was quite interesting because people were really into the event, and we could felt that she was talking about something that passionate her.
Anyway, I left 30 minutes later because I wasn’t felling good staying there, I felt that it wasn’t my place.

This event really disturbed me, because no one told me that it was a religious event. And as I come from France, it is unusual to see people expressing about their religion in public space.

Even if I didn’t fell confortable assisting to this event, I recognize that people were very nice.

Last Thursday, (February 16th 2017), I went to the Baruch study abroad fair event, there were around 20 table, and each of them was representing a University from another country. It was quite interesting because I didn’t know that exchange with other country was possible. there was two desks for French university which I found really interesting, because as a french, I know those University and they are quite good, so I could speak with them to understand how it work and they explain me everything, also I could talk with students who made these exchange, it was quite interesting to have their point of view on the subject. I also could speak with someone from an university in China, because it may be an idea to go study there for few months and it could really be interesting to discover a new culture.

Everything was very organized, we had a mad of all the desks, and everyone there was nice and it was a great experience which made me realize a new study opportunity that offer Baruch College.
