Baylor University Top Questions

Baylor is very preppy lot's of polos and loafers. People dress cute, classy, and chic There aren't many punks no emo's anything like that Greek life is very active for both minorities and whites i think it's like 1 out of every 5 or 6 students at Baylor is Greek. Races at Baylor for the most part at Baylor are very segregated people hang out with other people like them As an African American student i can say there is some racial tension but it's not really that bad some award situation in classes and you're not likely to have very many if any black professors

Baylor, on the whole, is very conservative. It's the party line, and the majority of students follow it. The school of music, however, is very different--I'm personally a democrat, and I don't feel oppressed or anything like that. I have several gay friends in the school, and they don't seem to have much of a problem. As far as the financial background is concerned, students pretty much fall into two categories: students whose parents are loaded and it doesn't matter at all how much school costs, and students who are desperately trying to get as many scholarships and loans as possible... because Baylor is really expensive.

If you are: poor, emo, unkempt, gutter-minded, gay, or lesbian RUN AWAY! You will feel extremely out of place at Bayor University. Why? Because here are a bunch of Christians in a large group and you should always fear ignorant people in large groups. I will not be mentioning names but I have known two nomosexual friends who have been not exactly kicked out but their lives made miserable by both students and staff until they transfered to another out of state university. I do know that being a Christian is an excellent thing, but you will find that even though Christians at Baylor claim to be open-minded and want to help you become a better person or be "saved" they often will hurt the minorites that Christians tend to condemn in the process. If you do choose to come to Baylor you can keep quiet and questions about things like this are not asked. The "don't ask don't tell" policy seems to be working quite well for me anyway. If you fit any of these categories think about how much you are willing to risk, how much you are willing to hide, and how much you are going to try to find friends like you. I promise, we all exist, we just hide.

Baylor is pretty diverse, racially. Most are Baptist or Christian, but there are people from just about every religion.

Everyone seemed to be fine. Maybe one that did not get involved in campus at all. Jeans and t-shirts are often warn to class. Yes, I feel different types of students interact. There are sorority and fraternity people at two tables, atheletes at another and friends in your class in another table. Most students are from Houston, or Dallas. I feel most students are pretty well off. I think most students are politcally aware but it would depend who you asked. I feel most people at Baylor are Right and Center and a few Left. I never heard anyone talking about how much money they would be making one day.
