Baylor University Top Questions

For the most part, yes. There's always exceptions to any rule, however, and Baylor has all kinds of people to meet and experiences to offer.

The Baylor administration itself is more Christian than I expected. The professors are almost always Christians, and there are more extracurricular spiritual options. Not every student is Christian. Most of the Christians however are genuine, normal people. While there are many rich blond girls, it turns out that they're nice, and they stay in their own circles. Normal people can easily find normal people. Lots of people find husbands lots of people don't. It is easy to get in, but it's getting harder. Everyone I know was pleasantly surprised about the difficulty of the classes and the workload. I genuinely feel like I'm getting a great education- better than a state school.

To me, none of them are. People here are just like other people, nice or mean or aloof or different every day. There are still big parties, there is still swearing and sex and other such things. Depending on your perspective, either Baylor is NOT welcoming to all regardless of beliefs or Baylor is gradually kicking out their own claimed beliefs. Sure, we have some really nice people and some really good things going, but it is nothing like I expected when I entered the "largest Baptist university in the world."

It applies to a few, but it is definitely not something you can say about the whole university!

above answer

these can be accurate, but really there's a lot of students that don't follow this stereotype

you can definitely find some people that are like this but overall i found baylor students to be friendly and sincere

To some extent, yes. I think this is because I35 seperates Baylor from Waco. And yes, a lot of girls do get a ring by sping and some that do not get pretty disappointed.

No, these stereotypes are not accurate. Some kids here do have to partially, if not fully, pay their way through college and our moms and dads do not freely hand us over money. Not everyone who goes here is Baptist. I'm Catholic and I attend a Baptist university.

Yes and no, you have the girls who are simply there for their MRS degree, they just want to get married. There are also nerds, jocks, punk rockers, and frat boys. There is a huge mix of people at Baylor, but generally speaking, most students are rich, white, and LOVE Texas. Many of my friends, and including myself, are not very happy at Baylor. In fact, many students appear to dislike many things about Baylor. Baylor's president is flushing the school down the drains, and sooner or later, no one will want to go to Baylor. The school is too strict and hypocritical. Talk about a sense of community...how about a place where students log onto a gossip website to trash talk about each other! If you really want a sense of community, do not look at Baylor.
