Baruch sports scene?

Hey guys, so I'm considering applying to Baruch College and wanted to know more about their sports scene. Can anyone tell me what the athletic teams are like and how the student culture is around sports at Baruch?

Sure, I'd be happy to give you some insight into the sports scene at Baruch College. Baruch is a Division III school that competes in the City Universities of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC). They offer a variety of varsity sports, including men's and women's basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field, swimming and diving, as well as men's soccer, men's volleyball, and women's softball. The college also has a number of club sports and intramural programs available for students who want to participate in sports in a more recreational and less competitive setting.

As a Division III institution, the athletic teams at Baruch are more focused on student development and balance between academics and sports. Athletes at Baruch do not receive athletic scholarships, so there's a strong emphasis on maintaining academic success while participating in sports.

In terms of student culture surrounding sports, the level of engagement can vary depending on the sport and the specific event. While some events may have a substantial turnout, generating a lively atmosphere, others may have smaller crowds. Keep in mind that Baruch is a commuter school, so the overall campus community might not be as tightly knit as a residential college. However, attending athletic events can still be an excellent way to connect with fellow students and show school spirit. Additionally, participating in sports, whether at the varsity, club, or intramural level, can create a strong sense of camaraderie and help build lasting friendships.

Overall, while Baruch might not have the most vibrant sports scene compared to larger universities or schools with Division I or II athletic programs, there are still plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in sports and enjoy the campus sporting events.
