CUNY Bernard M Baruch College Top Questions

i dont know

My classmates are hardworking with most of them interning and going to school at the sametime. Many are very involved in school clubs and everyone can find a group where they can fit in.

Students mostly keep to themselves rather than making friends; we'd open up to each other if we have a class together and talk mostly about schoolwork and become friends like that, but after the semester is over, we tend to lose contact (liking each other's statuses on facebook doesn't count at all). Since realizing this, I started looking for an organization to join to meet more people, and to my happy surprise, an old friend turns out to also go to Baruch and is the editor in chief of our yearbook, the Lexicon. We now work together on the yearbook while also having fun with everyone else in the committee. Then again, there's also the bars around the campus where all students congregate to socialize.

There are a lot of clubs and different groups. They're friendly and always invite new people.

Baruch College has one of the most diverse student populations. I believe we even ranked 1st for most diverse in the past.

City Tech is very diverse, which came as a surprise to me. I thought my high school was diverse but its nothing compared to college. This made me feel more comfortable because if there was just one major type of student then I would have to try to fit in with them, but since they're more than one I just just be myself. Being yourself is very important. Also they are kids with full finicial aid there are kids who pay some of the tution out of pocket.

An eclectic group of people.

I have been fortunate to make friends with people from a variety of different countries while attending Baruch. The level of commitment students have for their studies, however, ranges from dedicated to apathetic. Group work in most classes has been quite challenging because of this broad range of enthusiasm.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Baruch College is its extremely diverse student body as a result of its location in the heart of New York City. Baruch has an especially developed Asian student community, which dominates the spectrum of student ethnicity. I find the work ethic present in the student body as a whole exceedingly encouraging and doesn't fail in providing multiple, motivating academic challenges.

An admirable bunch, with quite a few bright bulbs, my classmates at Baruch have much faith in their abilities and challenge me every day to work harder and inspire me to keep working towards my goals.

The most ethnically diverse student body .

They are very diverse both ethnically and in mindset, there are some which are very studious and those who aren't.

They are very diverse and very focus on their work.

Most diverse, but everyone is very friendly if you give them a chance.

Most students dress casual but it is not at all unusual to see the occasional suit during the day. There are plenty of events to dress professionally, i.e. a workshop which requires business casual or a lecture by a recruiter. This is, after all, a business school. At least, if you intend to major in business, get used to dressing up in an adult manner if you're not accustomed to it already. There is a large Asian majority here, with the biggest subgroup being Chinese, then Japanese. That's just my impression. I'm sure one could find exact numbers if they were interested. The great thing about the people here, though, is that they are all civilized. Like I said earlier, if you want a rowdy, "fun" place, this is not Baruch. You won't hear morons yelling through the halls and distracting you in class and the glimpse of the anti-social "thug" limping like an imbecile through the halls is very rare indeed here. This is a college, and like most academia in nearly every country today, the majority of the students are leftist or leftist extremists. What else is new.

I like baruch because there are so many cultures there, individuals have different goals...its great practice for the work world

Baruch College has supposedly the most diverse student population in the country. Therefore, it’s a little bit hard to say that there are conflicts among students or that somebody would feel out of place. The only reason I could think of that someone would feel out of place would be if that person is looking for the college campus atmosphere that people encounter at some of the school that have more amenities, including dormitories or green space. But who would need that stuff if you’re studying business? You’re in it to make the big money, no? Baruch students seem to be friendly to each other, maybe less so when it comes to grades – in that respect, everyone tries to be competitive. Outside of the classroom, however, students come together to be part of the multitude of clubs that we have on campus. I can’t really say the students dress really fashionably. Most guys get suited up, whereas girls look like they know what they’re doing (I’m not too at describing their clothes that well!). And while we’re on the same subject, I can say as a guy you can spot really good-looking girls that you probably would expect to see on campuses with a big college sports presence. By the way, Baruch does have its sport teams and there’s a lot of good spirit flowing around but usually it stays within the close circle of the team members and the immediate staff.

Great Bodies :). Especially the latinas lol

Nobody can feel out of place in Baruch because everybody is represented. Every country in the world comes to this college. Financial backgrounds differ; most are middle class. Students frequently talk about future salaries.

Many of the students come to work wearing a suit and tie. Casual students, who aren't always dressed to impress, would feel very uncomfortable there. Also, students with low incomes might feel left out as well. Students often discuss money and jobs that they have and that they will have one day. Students from Baruch are from all over the world, which is very interesting. Baruch is considered the most diverse school in the country, and it is interesting to get to know students from places I've only dreamed of. Students who are openly politically aware seem to be mostly conservative. One of the tables in the dining hall would be filled with business men, suits and ties, quietly eating sandwiches while talking on their cell phones, using their computers, and completely ignoring each other. Another table would consist of girls talking about spending the evening in the local bar, or going to a party later that night, but not actually eating anything. The third table would be some more business students, perhaps talking a little more, maybe discussing their new brief cases or the stock market. The final table would be the few students with a bit of a personality, the english majors and the liberal arts majors, maybe a few students from the school newspaper, telling funny stories or sharing food.
