<p>How challenging are classes at Baruch? I'm considering it, but I want to go to a college that's intellectually stimulating. I've heard that the CUNYs are sort of a joke though.
How would the academic standards compare to, say, NYU?</p>
<p>Don’t go unless you can’t financially go to other schools. The registrationn office is horrible in helping you to get the classes you need. There is no support. Oh yea Freshmen year, they give you a bunch of classes to take meaning you can’t choose your classes. About 70% of the student body are not motivated at all. All they want to do is party and still have the mentality that not doing homework or studying is so cool. I am a freshmen, but will be transferring. I mean yea, NYU is composed of kids with good GPAs and SATs so the academics will be more competitive, where the curve will be more harsh compared to a student body of Baruch students.</p>
