Hey guys, I hope you all had a good experience in your first week at Baruch. My name is Quan and I am an international student who moved to New York 3 years ago from Cincinnati OH and before that from Hanoi, Vietnam. My experience here in the US has been pleasant so far, though not without its ups and downs. I have learned how to play the violin and picked up hip-hop dancing here in New York. For 3 years, I have made so many friends, both older and younger than me, and they have helped me familiarize with my new life in the city and taught me many things that I would have never known had I stay in Vietnam. I am hoping to get to know all of you fellow Macaulay scholars and to learn as much as I can from this class and during my journey here at Baruch. See you all in class!!
