Hello!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Amaraa. This is my first semester as a transfer student at Baruch College! I am from Mongolia, which may not sound so familiar for a lot of people. It is a small country sandwiched between the two giants: Russia and China. But it is an independent country, which is an important fact to point out. Psychology is not my intended major but I have to say that, this is my favorite course by far. I am sure everyone will agree with me!

Besides studying Computer Information Systems at Baruch College, I love to learn about other cultures and languages. My native language is Mongolian, which is very unique and there is nothing like it. I can also speak Spanish and Japanese. I have traveled to Guatemala, El Salvador and Ecuador last year. There is nothing like exploring the other side of the world and getting familiar with different cultures and customs. My goal is always to avoid usual tourist traps and get oneself immersed with local people and communities as much as possible while traveling.

I am extremely content with my decision to come to Baruch College. It has been a great experience so far. New York City provides an ideal environment for any one who loves to explore. You turn around every little block in this city and you discover so much history and stories behind them! For those, who are international students, i say, take advantage of every single opportunity Baruch College has to offer and enjoy!

I wish good luck to everyone! Keep learning!
