Baruch College

Does anyone Go/went to Baruch or knows anything about it? I go to marist right now in poughkeepsie NY but might transfer to Baruch primarily because it's in the city and it's a better business school. it has no dorming though so I'll have to get an appartment or get one from www.studenthousing.org

(liberal arts) baruch grad here

pros:
- really good business program (esp. in accounting)
- great bang for your buck
- brand new facilities
- most diverse student body in america
- classes are kinda tough
- it's in manhattan

cons:
- large student body (16,000) means big classes and an often-impersonal atmosphere
- school bureucracy is a pain in the ass
- large amount of required courses
- commuter school = not much of a campus atmosphere
- classes are kinda tough

since you have so many students in the accounting/finance majors.........competition is really fierce.

Diverse, sure... but ghetto. My friend works very hard there and says her classes are difficult...

Your leaving Mattress to go to Baruch? I know its in NYC and all but god Marist was a fun school. Dont worry about your future until the future.

Marist has (had?) hot chicks.
Go Red Foxes
Po-Vegas forever.
RIP Nightcap

the exact reason why some people excel... and others don't. some think about the future... while others wait for it to happen.=P

okay then

marist is not only fun...
they only take 30% of students who apply
listed in barrons as highly competitive (as is lehigh and BC)
US News and World Report top 10%
May not be a business school though

and the chicks are hot
and if someone like me can make 6 figures with a marist degree they must be doing something right

marist isn't that highly competitive. the acceptance rate is 50% not 30%, and Baruch has 36%

Also Baruch is much better for business, and plus it's right in the city

I don't find Marist that fun, I DJ at the local club, and I'm forced to occasionally play rap. Everyone at Marist is a rich white catholic kid, there's not much diversity (i'm jewish but i still somewhat fit in)

It's too cold, and it's too suburban, maybe it's because I lived in suburbia jersey shore since I was 6

anyway i'm finishing off the year at marist. so i still have a while to think about this

thats cool i definitely see what you are saying, that is one of the reasons I would never be able to live outside the city. Also, I'm not sure how much you partied there, but in Baruch there are no parties because there are no dorms. Here you have the city at your disposal, so as long as you know someone you're good to go...

i go here but i'm taking a semester off.. imo the college somewhat sux coz it's not much of a college experience on account of no campus or dorms
