Baylor University Top Questions

Lack of economic and enviromental concern. In other Colleges and Universites I have noticed their books stores have t-shirts and sweatshirts from non-sweat shops stationed in the Dominican Republic. However at Baylor I have only seen clothes made in sweat shop capitols, such as Asia and South America. I think it would be beneficial for the students to open thier eyes to clothing made in non-sweat shops and the enviromental benefits it brings to not only the college campus but the world.

I wish Baylor University's administartion did not hesitate to become involved controversial news. Often, the university will instruct chapel services to become involved in world news so that the University seems to have been involved when the thruth is, they instruct them to do so once and contiue to shy away. I am disappointed that my University has chosen not to play a larger role in affecting change in light of current events.

Alot of people are very closed minded when it comes to political views and views on sexuality

I really couldn't come up with the worst thing, my experience at Baylor has been 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} positive.

Baylor's lack of tolerance is appalling. I've met a number of LGBTQ students and they suffer anxiety, because homosexuality is against school policy. To an LGBT student, daily life is lived in fear. There isn't racial diversity either. I want a Latina Profesora to teach me Spanish. The Mujerista theology lecture in my ChristianHeritage class was done by an elderly white pastor. After Obama's 2008 election, nooses were hung from trees. Any student that differs from the WhiteConservativeChristian mold will have difficulty making friends, forming study groups, and suceeding. That's just a fact about Baylor.

Baylor University's stance on homosexuality is disheartening. Christians should expand the kingdom of heaven, which does not include taking the place of God and judging others for their sins. Our job, as believers, is to love God and love people. We're called to hate the sin, not the sinner and Baylor's stance on LGBT community on campus is disappointing. The university prohibits LGBT clubs and gatherings; consequently discouraging students here to be openly gay. For Baylor to make students feel unequal to their heterosexual peers, I question their motivation as a Christian example in education.

The worst thing is they're is a lot of deception, or pretty much I've been lied to a lot. I was orginally a biomedical engineer and I researched the programs they had online, talked to an admissions counselor, and after orientation I was informed they didn't have a biomedical engineering degree but just a general engineering degree with an emphasis on biomedical. They then forced me to switch to mechanical engineering. Plus, they are always telling the less financially fortunate to transfer. Thus I am transferring to Texas A&M.

The "worst" thing about Baylor is the fact that many of the students here have a limited world view. They have little experience with diversity which can make it difficult to make them understand another point of view.

I think the worst thing about Baylor is that sometimes it can very much live up to its stereotype as a rich and snobby private school. Although there is such a great variety of types of students, this has rarely happened to me, but you can sometimes you can get caught up the stereotype of the "Baylor Bubble" where seemingly nothing bad happens. Not that bad things don't happen at Baylor or that we don't have normal college parties and problems, but an air of ignorance can sometimes exist within certain circles, so choose your friends wisely.

How focused we can be on sports. Yes, we have great teams, but departments like music and the arts get overlooked and are passed up for renovations when we are way overdue and in need of new facilities. I love that we take pride in our school, but I'm not here training to be an athlete, I want to be a music teacher and we don't have the proper facilities we need to help further our education, but we seem to have plenty of money to get new stadiums.
