Baruch+College

Baruch College By Maritza Scagnelli

I wanted to be a CPA so I attended [|Baruch College] in Lower Manhattan. Top ten businesses looked to Baruch to recruit business students. At the encouragement from my high school math and accounting teachers I chose Baruch. At the time there were over 70 clubs. Even though it was in the city it had a great "campus feeling" if you joined campus activities. If you are not a person to get involved and don't like the action of a very busy city, then Baruch is not for you. It is a very multicultural environment and heavy emphasis in the Business majors. I enjoy the fast paced lifestyle of the city. I was a commuter as was 80 percent of the students. I love the city and its diverse culture and Baruch allowed me to be in the middle of it. Of course I didn't become a CPA. I actually became a Fashion buyer and worked in the industry for three years.
