"Live a life of no regrets"
If we're being honest here, I completely regret going to Baruch for college. Now, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the commitment that all the students and teachers have for learning here, it is pretty wonderful. I don't think any other school has students or faculty who are as committed as all the students and professors bustling and hustling to Baruch every day. Baruch gives you all the tools to succeed, intellectually, in the "real world." But is that all you need? I don't think so. I really believe a school where students learn to socialize and enjoy their youth makes for happier and more equipped workers come graduation. My long commute, antisocial peers, and extremely demanding professors have made my college experience one that I know I will look back on with slightly bitter memories. When friends in other colleges were networking and celebrating the completion of a final, I am on the train going home, worried and emotionally drained. Baruch is the third best accounting institution in the metro area but is textbook knowledge all a college student really needs? I don't think so, I believe that is really all Baruch has to offer students making me deem my college decision one that is overlaid with regret.
