im in the cuny honors college at baruch…all i can say is that if it wasn’t for the full tuition scholarship, the macbook they give us, and the thousands of dollar stipends provided…i would definitely not be going here. other than that…people who are on fin aid generally are pretty happy with it…and work-study opportunities are endless. yes…you are allowed to double major. and…most people think its a very ‘business-oriented’ school and thats what you go there for…and thats simply not true. the only reason its boasted for that is because it is the ONLY city college that is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and has the best undergrad business school in nyc, right after nyu stern. but…the school has pretty nice facilities and great departments in other fields. while you can’t apply to the cuny honors college through baruch as a transfer, baruch has its own honors program…which i think you should look into because UCLA is top-notch. (only thing is, you don’t receive the macbook, and the scholarship)…but with the baruch scholars progam (not cuny honors), you also share some of the benefits with the cuny honors students such as priority registration for classes (first-day registration could be a great advantage because classes fill up fast), option of taking honors courses (class sizes are usually half the size of the regular classes), and you are assigned a personal advisor which you normally wouldn’t get.
