Campus Dining at CUNY Baruch College

A-

The Food Is Great, but It's So Overpriced

The variety of places around Baruch and the great-tasting food is definitely an advantage. But I find it disappointing that a decent meal has to cost more than $10. About all you can afford on a low budget is probably a slice of pizza.

Off-Campus Dining at CUNY Baruch College

B-

Great Food, But the Prices Are So HIGH!

There is a variety of great restaurants here, and food is definitely good, but I find it sad that students have to spend so much in order to get a decent meal, and this doesn't includes fast food restaurants. My personal favorite is Pax, though it is a bit pricey. However, if on a budget, you could always count on the nearby fast food places, such as Popeyes, McDonald's, and Subway.

Campus Strictness at CUNY Baruch College

A-

Very Fair

There is not much to tell about campus strictness, since it seems like a free environment, and I haven't seen any behavior so far that actually required any punishment. Academically, though, I would have to say that they are very strict about plagiarism and keeping up with credit requirements.

Depends on Your Mode of Transportation

There are different ways to get to Baruch, mainly by bus or by train. Though I am used to the subway, I have heard that the bus is a bit easier and more convenient. However, bus rides do cost more money.

Facilities at CUNY Baruch College

A-

Facilities Are Great, but Often Crowded

It all depends on the timing, but often times, it is hard to find space, especially during club hours. However, the facilities are pretty decent and very quiet, which is a plus. My best choice would be the library.

Campus Housing at CUNY Baruch College

F

There Is No Housing

I guess we have no housing because Baruch is right in the city, and people are more used to commuting. However, it would be really great if Baruch could provide dorms.

Overall Experience at CUNY Baruch College

A-

Better Than I Expected

I didn't expect much from a commuter school, since I knew my days would basically follow the usual home-school kind of schedule. But it all depends on what you make of your experience. Not everything is perfect, but once you get used to the classes, join some organizations, get involved, and meet new people, it will become an enjoyable experience. You'll realize that Baruch is definitely a great place to be.

Diversity at CUNY Baruch College

A+

Diverse Student Body

For such a large student body, I would say that the school is extremely diverse in terms of ethnicity and religion. This is definitely a plus, and it's one of the major reasons why I chose Baruch.

Drug Safety at CUNY Baruch College

A

Pretty Low Key...

The majority of the student body is seemingly more preoccupied with studies and school work, so I'm assuming that if there is even a drug scene at all, students are doing a decent job of not making it a popular or big thing. But I'd say that there's not much of a drug scene.
