Currently enrolled in the class on Fridays from 11-2. Is anyone in the T/Th from 5:50-7:05 PM section or Sunday 11-2 section willing to trade spots with me?

I’m currently unemployed and all the work I can find will require me to work a standard 9-5. This is my last semester here, so I really don’t want to have to drop my class just so I don’t end up on the streets. ☹️ I’d be willing to pay for a swap too. DM me if able and willing to trade spots please.

I’m a 4th-year student at Baruch College majoring in Computer Science, and I honestly don’t know what to do right now.
Yesterday, I got a email saying that I don’t meet the entrance requirements for the Computer Science major because I didn’t get the minimum grade of B. Baruch also doesn’t allow me to retake classes where I already received a passing grade, so I’m no longer eligible for the CS major and have been told I need to switch to another major. The problem is, I don’t have any interest in the other majors Baruch offers.
To be completely honest, I also don’t really like Computer Science. I’ve struggled with coding and math, and I think a big part of why my grades have been so bad is because I’ve never felt interested in the subject like before. I just kept going because I was already so far into the degree.
Now college starts in about a week, and I feel like this decision was dropped on me out of nowhere.
I’m considering taking at least one semester off or drop out live my life stress free instead of choosing a random major just to stay enrolled. During that time, I want to seriously explore becoming something I’m actually interested in. I’m also considering whether I could eventually transfer to another college and pursue a completely different major if I decide I still want a degree.
I’m feeling really overwhelmed. Maybe this is a sign to finally pursue something I actually want.

What would you do in my situation?

As the title says i am an incoming freshman at Baruch and was wondering how starting clubs or getting involved with research would work if its even possible. Anyone who has done this before please let me know. Also im an economics major.

genuinely can anyone just tell me if they made good friends here at baruch? like ones that actually last? im starting as a freshmen on the 31st and im so so scared that im just gonna make no friends as childish as that sounds 😭😭

Has anybody heard back from Baruch about being hired as a tutor?

When I signed up for the cost accounting summer course, I looked up the posts here and everyone talked about how difficult it is and against taking it during summer. I was scared so much that I thought about dropping. But I had no other choice since I can't take both 3100 and 3200 coming fall because I knew that would be hell. Yes, it is a difficult course but it isn't as bad as everyone is making it to be. I want to post some positivity in case there might be some students like me who need it next year 😆

I had professor Zeljko Sockovic. I'd advise to read the textbook ahead and make sure you understand so that it's more like a review when you're in class. It is fast-paced due to the short course length. There are only 1 midterm and 1 final for the summer course so it's a bit more intense compared to a regular term (a regular term has 2 midterms and 1 final). Do your best in midterm because it's easier compared to the later part of the class (that's how it was for me personally). I read the textbook and watched lectures by @Farhatlectures on YouTube. Homeworks are lengthy and there are two chapters each week so take out as much time as you can to work on each problem and understand the logic behind it instead of speed running. And DO NOT memorize the calculation steps, it won't help you in exams. Maybe you can/have to memorize the frameworks in certain chapters, but again you'll still be able to understand why you're doing what you're doing. As long as you grasp the basic concept of each chapter, you'll be fine. Best of luck to all students who are taking this course soon!

P.S. If you're working while taking this course and you're worried about whether you can handle it, don't be discouraged. I work full-time and was able to finish it — so you can do it too!

So they’ve been sending emails about convocation day and how it’s mandatory for incoming freshman but I was wondering how important it actually is?! what can they tell us that we didn’t find out at orientation already. Does convocation day actually help u meet people (if you’re introverted) or is it just those boring icebreakers?

So… no curve after all 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I'm an upcoming freshman and recently my financial aid offer cut my TAP Award for the Fall semester. After emailing my school's tap office they said that it was because I chose Summer on my hesc application (this was suggested by my high school counselor) and that it messes up the system, therefore I should give it time to fix itself.

I'm both confused and worried about this and do not know if I should go to my school's financial aid office in person

has this happened to anyone else?

this is what i see on facts

Hi guys, I’m sure everyone is aware that the Big Beautiful Bill was passed which puts financial aid on hold. Does anyone have more insights into this (ie when Baruch would apply financial aid for Fall 2026)?

School is in two Weeks and I didn’t go to orientation is their a way for me to get my ID. Or I can wait till first day and use my schedule to get into school and get it on that day ?🫩

So I currently have a part-time job and a summer job right now. When I am filling out the application, is there any way I can indicate it is a summer job, or can I only prove it in the uploading documents section? When I put my mom’s income plus my part-time and summer job, the application gives a monthly income, and that number exceeds the eligibility requirement when I don’t actually make that every month. Would my application automatically get denied because of that?

I also want to confirm I should be clicking Prove Income Another Way because I didn’t file taxes even though my mom did and I am a dependent under her. Should I also still be putting her income with mine in the application, right?

Can I input my mom’s total income under one job title when she has 2 because I want to use her tax return as her proof of income and the tax return also lists one occupation? Is that okay? When I do put her income, it doesn’t let me put yearly, so can I just put monthly even though she doesn’t get paid monthly so I can divide her total income by 12, and is it okay if the number is a little off from the tax return because what if I get a long decimal? I would be using pay stubs to prove my income.

has anyone ever actually been flagged by proctorio? just took my final and we were allowed a cheat sheet and calculator so spent a lot of time looking down(as id crammed a lot onto the cheat sheet and was trying to find information) and scared that itll get flagged as i also got a really good score. this is for mehmet acc2203. and if you did how long after did you get alerted and what happened

I have my first-ever internship interview coming up with Rödl & Partner in the US. How should I prepare, and what should I focus on? Any advice would be appreciated!

I know nothing for the final and did horribly on the midterm

Two more classes and I’ll be finishing my BBA in Accounting. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be eligible for the CPA, or if I should take some additional classes. I heard that the school might change the Accounting curriculum because the CPA requirement is changing from 150 credits to 120. Does anyone know if I’ll need to take extra classes? I know i have to email advisor and i will . thanks
