I
am currently a sophomore at Baruch, and have bad mostly
a mixed experience thus far. 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.
