a. Tell us how your experience at Baruch College has lived up to your expectations?
-Going into Baruch I made sure that my expactation were not that high because I knew a big part of the college experience was dorming and I was not dorming. One aspect that really surprised me was the attention baruch put on the freshmans, the opportunities given to freshmans were so vast, if I wasnt already part of the swim team I would have a lot of options to keep myself occupied and to find a way to participate in Bauch.
b. How well do you think your first semester went?
-My first semester went by really fast, I felt like the work load was just about right, I wasn’t too stressed but I also had a rude awakening that i had to change my procastinating habits. With semesters so fast i need to work on my time management but overall I was satisifed with the results.
c. What would you do differently if you could do your 1st semester again?
-I think I relied too much on the fact that I was a freshman and that professors would go easy on us because we are making a transition. When the professor went easy on the class I wouldnt see it as an opportunity to work harder and get an easy grade, I procastinated so some of my grades were mediocre instead of good.
d. How have you changed since you started at Baruch College?
-I’d like to say that I have not changed only because I think its very hard for somebody to change in 3 months, also my work habits are the same and my routines (because of the swim team) seem the same as it was in highschool.
