Baylor University Top Questions

My college experience has allowed me to grow up and mature tremendously. I am from Illinois and go to college in Texas. That was one huge adjustment for me. I went to a high school of about 5,000 students, and not one of them attend college in Texas. All my friends and family live/attend school in the Midwest, so I came to college completely alone. I was forced to learn how to take care of myself, go out of my comfort zone to meet new people, and to manage my time well. At first, it was hard and scary. All I wanted to do was go home and/or transfer to a university where all my best friends go. It was a challenging first year, but I could not be happier with the choice I made to attend Baylor. It has really helped mold me into the woman I strive to be, and I would not have been able to do that if I had stayed within my comfort zone at a state school where everyone from my high school went; there's no comparable value to that.

I've learned that going to class is a very important part of my grade, going to a community college is a lot cheaper than a university & seeing an advisor makes picking out classes a lot easier.

More than anything, my college experience has awakened the thirst for knowledge that I had when I was younger. The faculty and the school has reminded me that in order to learn I also have to understand. While that may sound a bit redundant, I mean to say that the school helps to teach students who come in thinking that they're are well prepared and ready for the next challenge a sense of humility. A student needs to understand from what sense of authority and knowledge that the teacher comes from before they can fully appreciate the power of their words. With this lesson in mind, one can start to really begin to learn what's before them rather than simply memorize and repeat. The lessons here are life lessons meant to guide you behind these walls.
