High School Pt. 2

The premises are nearly identical. Similar to Stuyvesant High School, I have classes between the first and tenth floors, there’s a homeroom to report to once a week, and I’m back in the middle of Manhattan where most people commute to school from all over NYC. So far being in college feels like the hyped up sequel to a good movie that ends up being a letdown. My experience in college up until now has been disappointing, however the fault does not lie within Baruch. In fact, Baruch has been nothing but great to me. I really appreciated the icebreakers set up so everyone in the homeroom class can get acquainted with one another and served as a great stepping stone to building a friendship. The RAs have done a great job moving the class along and the group activities were enjoyable, particularly the one involving ethics. Also, there are many events and activities set up in the school to promote a more social and closer network amongst the students. For example, the newsletter sent to my email lets me know what’s happening on the school campus. Despite all this, I do not believe I’m able to mix well into Baruch’s atmosphere and I have not changed at all since I started college. If I was given the chance to redo my first semester, I would kindly decline the offer and move forward with my life. Baruch’s a great college, just not for me.
