Baylor University Top Questions

Baylor has a pretty homogenous crowd. Mostly white, middle-upper class, conservative, and from central/east Texas. Anyone who doesn't fit that description usually sticks to a group other people that are like them. A non-Christian student would definitely feel out of place at Baylor because of the requirements for Chapel and Religion. Most Baylor students are from Dallas, Austin, Houston, etc. There are some out-of-staters though, and they fit in just fine, it's not a huge deal where you're from. Most students are also from wealthier families, since it is a private school. Students generally wear t-shirts and shorts to class. Sperry's are huge. There are a lot of students that dress regularly to class as well, jeans, and sometimes dresses. Students aren't necessarily the most politically active, maybe because we're not very liberal and outspoken.

let's face it, baylor is mainly middle to upper class white kids. the majority are baptist but i myself am not and never felt discriminated because of it. most students are from texas but i found many to be from california, colorado, and the deep south.

The student body is predominantly white, upper middle class students. Although, they do have a fairly big Indian Subcontinent Student Association as well as International student events. Most people wear jeans and t-shirts, but one would be very aware of the latest trend that is sweeping the nation as some are pretty fashionable. Most people tend to stay within groups of similar major or race, and it could be pretty difficult to gain a good group of friends if you are from a different culture. Students talk about politics, class, boys/girls, who's dating who, and religion.

Students that would feel out of place are those who may not believe in a God because students here are very open about religion and may make them feel like they have to accept God. Most students where very casual and relaxed clothing. I know my roommate and I wear sweatpants and a t-shirt to class some days. Other days we may wear blue jeans and t-shirt. We rarely dress up for class, unless we are trying to impress a cute boy.

Oh the students...I am not a fan. Baylor students are self-righteous brats. Baylor is exaclty like high school in the sense that everything is competition. Everyone gossips about each other and cares way too much about who is dating who. There are the popular kids and the wannabes, and everybody knows them. It is so stupid. Baylor kids do not care about anyone but themselves. You have a lot of rich Texans at Baylor who flaunt their money around. Girls can be pretty snobby and act like they are way too cool. Then you read about them on juicycampus.com and find out that they are promiscuous and stupid drunks. Seriously, the gossip at Baylor has got to end. Baylor will block porn sites (for obvious reasons) but they will not protect their student body by banning juicycampus.com, a site where you can anonymously post ANYTHING about ANYONE and EVERYONE at Baylor will read it. People will stab you in the back! Horrible things are said about girls and guys and their reputations are ruined. Their names are pinned on the internet. Also, beware of the guys at Baylor. There are NO cute boys. Do not come to Baylor looking for a sweet cowboy to sweep you off your feet. Baylor guys are jerks and partiers who care nothing about finding a girl for the night. The only place you will find them is in KOT, and the good ones are already taken.

There's a group for almost everything. There's a lot of club teams, Cultural/Ethnic groups, religious groups, political groups, etc. Despite Baylor being a Christian campus, there are people of all religions (and no religions) here who find a place to be themselves. People are generaly friendly, but that's part of the whole Texas atmosphere. Most of the students are from Texas, but I had no problem getting involved as an out-of-stater. Really, this is a great mixing pot, I'm from Florida, would up rooming with a guy from California, and one from Michigan. People are helpful and study groups are easy to slap together.

CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE!!! BEWARE, IF YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIAN, DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL. THEY WILL GANG UP ON YOU AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY FRIENDS.

There's no getting around it, Baylor is made up of predominantly white, republican, upper-middle class Baptist students. At least that might be considered the Baylor poster-child. Excuse the generalization, but the stereotypical Baylor student is the one that does indeed drive the '09 Lexus and has their own house custom built for the four years they are here at Baylor. They are probably a business major, only because that looks respectable but doesn't actually require a huge amount of effort, and they aspire to either get married asap if they are a girl, or if they're a boy, graduate with a bba and promptly continue to put forth exactly zero effort and yet somehow manage to acquire his father's business and subsequently make a couple million so they can put their own children through Baylor (Ok that was a little bit biased.. I happen to be part of the 0.0001{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of Baylor students who is getting by on scholarships and student loans). But despite its stereotypical southern Christian demographic, we are not entirely without ethnic and religious diversity. And from what I can tell, non-Christian and Christian students alike benefit from the school's Baptist heritage as a moral foundation and a source of education. If you get here and you're looking for friends that are down to earth, intelligent, and fun, you'll find them. You just might have to look a little harder..

Segregated, clique-ish, very high school 1. WASPs 2. Ethnicities 3. Liberals 4. Greeks 5. Indie-Christians

There is variety in the student body at Baylor, but the students predominently conservative, Christian, and from Texas.
