<p>Hey everyone, I'm a current Baruch transfer student this is my first semester. I transferred from BMCC where I did really well and got a 3.4GPA and got deans list. Now that I'm attending Baruch college, I seem to have been really struggling. Yes, I study MINIMUM of 10 hours a week sometimes more and sometimes less and It just doesn't seem to cut it. I'm Struggling to pass calculus and music. Yes, I go to tutoring frequently but still end up doing bad do to the fact that the class goes so fast. Each class we learn a new topic so basically whatever you need an extra class to study and practice the topic future, you won't get it. I'm also struggling with music because my music professor doesn't fully review exams he just gives you 5 or 6 chapters and expects you to guess what's going to be on the exam, so if you study the wrong material you end up failing. </p>

<p>So in other words I'm weighing my options and I would like to know if Queens college or Brooklyn college would be easier to study Finance? From someone who is studying finance at Queens or Brooklyn college. Also explain the Caluculus difficulty level at Brooklyn and Queens college?</p>

<p>Baruch is the more competitive school than Queens or Brooklyn. And if you are pursuing Finance, the courses are definitely more challenging. Sorry, ten hours of studying weekly isn’t sufficient. For each hour of class, students should be studying three hours, and more if it is a difficult course. Baruch is excellent for business so you might want to stick with it.</p>

<p>In addition to tutoring, I suggest you go see the professor weekly during his/her office hours and seek help. Maybe take less classes per semester and spend more hours per week on each course. Learn study skills, usually these are offered in the college’s tutoring center.</p>

<p>And yes, in general Brooklyn and Queens is less competitive than Baruch.</p>

<p>Hope this helps. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I don’t think Brooklyn offers a degree in finance. They have a general Business Administration program and Accounting and that’s about it. Neither require calculus.</p>
