Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Undecided  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Baruch really pushes you out into the business world, even when you don't have a job yet. Every day people go to Baruch, go to their classes, and go home. The only reason I was able to make friends was because I was placed into a learning community my first semester. Otherwise, trying to make REAL friends with people you have random classes with is quite difficult because everyone is too preoccupied with their own grades and part-time jobs. A lot of people you talk to will have transferred out of Baruch to go to a REAL college. The only reason I haven't done the same is because I really can't afford going elsewhere.

The first thing I noticed when I came to this was that most of the students are somewhat pretentious, and do not have a grasp of the whole point of getting a college education: to become a well rounded person. I have talked to many students and it seems like they only care about their business classes and nothing else. I also observed that a lot of students complain about the workload in non business classes, which I never had a problem with so it definitely came to me as a surprise. As a result lot of professors become way to lenient which is not advantageous to the students that enjoy being challenged intellectually. As i mentioned before, most of the professors and the educational quality (in business and non business classes) is great. They are extremely supportive and enthusiastic. It is really tough for some of the liberal arts professors because they are aware that Baruch is a business school, and a lot of students don't really take their class seriously. However they manage to organize the material in a way that does not take away from the educational quality. I have never had a professor who hasn't bothered to respond to my e-mails or answer questions. Social life is tolerable, but I have to admit that I am not exactly the most outgoing person. If you are undecided about your major, you will probably be lost in this school. It wasn't until I started attending the school that I found out that you cannot take any 300 level accounting classes until junior year. As a result, you are not left with much leeway because if you decide Accounting is not your cup of tea or if you mess up in one accounting class, you will likely take more than four years to graduate. I like the fact that the school requires all business majors to take at least calculus, because i know other schools don't even though it seems to be a necessity for a lot of major subjects. I also like the fact that the school requires you to complete a tier 3 minor, which requires you to take 2 300 level classes and a capstone course within a department outside of the business school. This basically ensures that Baruch students graduate well rounded in other areas except business. This is important because the real world often requires knowledge outside of business.

The coursework really gears you toward the business profession. However, the environment is also like the business world as well. The school as well the students in my opinion are very impersonal. Students basically come here, go to class, and then go home. There really isn’t much of a social environment here. The school feels like a job in that you don’t really have much fun. I’ve been to 3 college sponsored parties (that is the only kind here) and all of them have been wack. Only a handful of students actually show up to them and nobody really dances. If you really want to be in the business profession and you don’t care about the social life, then by all means come here. The school is basically one colossal building with no environment whatsoever. Please don’t get me wrong and think I’m just bad mouthing the school. The school would be excellent if bought some more real estate and made more of an effort to create a campus feel. My advice would be to only come here if you just want to do your work and go home. If you want to actually have fun with the last few years of childhood then go to City College or a SUNY school. Because if you think about it, once you graduate LIFE hits you in the face and you really cant have as much fun as you can now. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Campus Aesthetics: F Have a Question?
