Overall I would say that where every you may go enjoy the college life, it is suppose to be best years of your life. I have enjoyed my three years here at Baylor and look forward to another year. My experience has not been a bad one at all. I would not change a thing that I have done at Baylor. I do not second guess if I picked the right college. I beleive that I attended the right college for me. Of course not every college is the right one for some people. But I believe that Baylor offers (try to) the best college experience possible.

Sing! This is probably Baylor's biggest tradition that no other school can touch. The music, the passion, the drama. Sing! brings together people from all over the Baylor community and entertains like no other. I would encourage any freshman to do Sing Alliance, or join their fraternities act.

Baylor has a place for everyone but you just might have to look for it.

BAYLOR IS SOOOO MUCH FUN. it is the perfect balance of parties and academics. church and studying. drinking and simply having random fun times. everyone is here to learn and get an amazing degree but we have fun and let loose at the same time. people are sane..not too crazy but definitely not too boring. work hard. party hard. hot girls. hot boys. good churches. good concerts. boring city..but BAYLOR makes up for it. its not called a baylor bubble for nothing.

I tend to find that as a whole Baylor's student body is unconcerned with any type of environmental progress. While this is very upsetting, there are several student/faculty organizations that are actively pursuing more environmentally friendly practices on campus.
It greatly annoys me that all of the cleaning staff is of Hispanic decent, and NONE of them speak English.
The cost of attending Baylor is not cheap, but there are so many scholarships available to help with tuition. Also, I would highly recommend bringing in as much AP/IB credit so that you don't have to take as many basic freshman classes, you will free up a lot of time in your schedule, and it is good to know that once you have been accepted you can only transfer 15 credits from another school into Baylor for your degree (excluding all high school credit). When planning which classes to take over the next four years, the credit I earned in high school has been so helpful.

baylor is expensive. you will have a good education if you can afford it. and if you can put up with the religious stuff for the first 2 years you'll be fine. the campus is beautiful and you make good friends. there are always complaints about schools. i've enjoyed my time at baylor, but that's because i made it so.

Hard work pays off. If you go to any university this is going to be obvious, but when your professors know you by name and ask you why you weren't in class on Friday it can be a bit weird. We do have an attendence policy at Baylor, but if you miss class it is really only your loss.
Join groups! If you want a sorority or fraternity, go ahead. If not we have everything from band and orchestra to competitiave and club sports teams. Not that good at sports? Awesome, come and make a fool out of yourself as a group in intermurals, trust me you will have a blast. Want an academic group? We have BIC and Honors classes, you can find a bunch of friends there.
One last thing, get the cheapest meal plan you can, you won't use them anyway. After freshman year drop the meal plan and just pay for meals out of Dining Dollars or Bear Bucks, it's cheaper if you do the math.

Visiting hours for the opposite gender in the dorms are ridiculous. All boys must leave by 10pm on week nights and midnight on weekends. Parking is very difficult- it's almost impossible to find a good spot.
