Baylor University Top Questions

I only attended Boise State University for one semester and only too one class in winter semester in 2007. I am going back for fall 2011. I learned that takin notes is very important. Some of the professors took material from their own lectures and presentation for quizzes and assignments as well as information from the text book. While I attended it helped with my listening skills. I am now able to listen asn retain more information better because of it.

My college life so far has been irreplacable. From the knowledge that I have learned to the friendships that I have made, I think all my experiences so far have been very positive. Even through all of the academic struggles that I've faced, I believe that with all the knowledge I have gained, the work has been worth it. The overall friendly environment allows any personality to fit in, and because of that there is much diversity among my friends. I love having the college experience at Baylor University.

The most valuable thing I have extracted from my time in college is the fact that I had no idea who I was. I was raised with my parent's beliefs and their outlook on life, and I never realized that it defined who I was my whole life. College has let me explore my own personal beliefs and has let me voice my own opinions rather than the opinions I grew up with. College helped me find myself.

Throughout my college experience, I have gained the knowledge that can only be gained through experience. Of course I learned important, educational knowledge that I could only attain from going to that early bird 8am class, but I learned other things as well. I learned that being at such a large institution, we consume many resources and energy that we cannot replace or renew. At Baylor University we have taken into account all the resources that we consume and use and simply use less to help others throughout the world. Some other experiences that I have also learned from is that you should never wear heels to class, don't feed these crazy eyed squirrels and you don't have to eat the food in the cafeteria until you pop (I promise, you'll regret it in a few hours). College is hard and it is a challege, but it is the best thing that I could have ever done in my life. I know that in the future, I will know that I did the right thing by choosing to go to college. Until then my life plans are: study, work, sleep and repeat.

The experience at Baylor is eye opening in many ways. One being that you are truly on your own when you got to college. Baylor has taught me to be an independent person. You learn to manage social time and study time. Being on your own makes you realize if you do not have a job you can not buy anything. In college you have to take what you are given. I have also learned from my experience not to lose myself. Being a black male student at Baylor can take some adjusting when you look around in classes of 100-200 - people consist of 4 or maybe 5 black students. But the thing about Baylor not every person is the same. I have learned you cannot judge people by appearence, some people I would've never thought to be my friend are my best friends. The most vaulable thing I have learned from Baylor is to not take for granted what you have and what you have been given. That being said the college experience has changed my life for the better. Hopefully I can continue my education here at Baylor.

Religion. Maturity. Friends. Freedom. These words describe a few of the things that I gained by attending Baylor. And yet, they hardly do justice to the experience I have undergone as a college student. I have chosen to increase my knowledge and my education at the same time. Which is great; oftentimes, one lets his college "knowledge" interfere with his education, which, as the great Winston Churchill reminded us, is not a good path to follow. I believe that one must choose the college they want to attended with care and thought; otherwise, one may end up in a place where he is unable to learn or live comfortably. Fortunately, I made the right decision by coming to Baylor. Baylor instills values into its students and professors, and any visitors to the university can tell this immediately. I have learned how to balance religion and education in my life, and how to integrate them into my future. I have learned how to work in groups, an essential skill needed to succeed in the business world. Finally, I have learned how to be me. College opened the doors to so many future paths, and I still have years before I graduate.

In the three years that I have attended Baylor University, i have made some lifelong friends, learned the best ways to study for exams that will help me to remember the information much longer than simply memorizing and draining it days after an exam. I feel like a valued member of the Baylor community and am so thankful for the opportunities that the University is and will continue to provide for me.

I have grown up a lot since I have been at college and the learning enviornment around me has really helped to nourish that growth. There is a strong christian influence at this school and I have loved all of the faculty and students I have met here. I feel like I belong to this school and I am apart of a community, which helps encourage me to do well in my studies. I have always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a kid. And I am just glad that I get to learn from one of the best nursing schools in the state. Baylor is an excellent school and everyone should at least take a good look at it when they are considering which college to attend!

Being in an educational atmosphere is my ideal environment and always has been; with the ever changing and ever flowing range of ideas on the proverbial battlefeild, I see it as the riches form of intellectual nourishment possible. I can not only see the world in a brighter, more probing light, but I can see myself clearer than when I was not challenged by presented issues and when I, because of this, did not need to demand more of my own mind. It is true that, in my own way, I searched for ways to broaden my gaze, but, without reciprocating provocation, my efforts were for not. I find that as you go through life, you encounter many things, all which you may learn from, but few experiences or relationships can give you as much to show for your efforts and accomplishments as a true educational institution and the rapport one may build with those who make the functioning work of art proficient and contagious.

I have learned so much about myself and so much about other people. I have learned to be a servant and look to the best of others and their needs and at the same time learn the things that I need and not be afraid to get help in order to attain those things. I have learned that there are so many types of different people but that our differences make life so much more fun and interesting. My life has been enriched by getting to experience so many different classes and subjects. My mind has been stretched and filled and I know that every day it will continue to be changed even more. I will never be the same after I complete college and I know that I will be socially, culturally, and sprititually better for all the experiences that I have had.
