Baylor University Top Questions

I have gotten out amazing experiences and some friends that i would do anything for from Baylor. I think that no other school would have had the right balance of a great academic program coupled with such friendly and social people all over the campus. This school has taught me valuable lessons, both inside and outside the classroom. I have participated in volunteering activites in many different places around the community that opened my eyes to the desperate need for helpright under our noses. I believe all theses experiences are valuable because they are slowly shaping me into a better person that can go out into Corporate America and create an impact for the better. The life long friendships that I have formed are more valuable than anything that I can think of. I have met people that I know will be there for me no matter what I may be going through. Baylor has truly helped me mature and become a more educated and moral person that can positively change the lives of people that I meet.

I have gained a great deal of knowledge about myself since attending Baylor. I learned that I have a fondness for challenging courses, that I can be academically inclined and a sports fanatic too, and that I am really confident about my ability to find a job after college. Baylor has proven to be a very successful institution with job placement/graduate school attainment, and its goal to be a Christian university in a not so religious world. I at first thought that I would be overwhelmed by the Christian atmosphere here at Baylor, but BU has proven to be able to balance its religious side with the academic side. Sic'Em Bears!

Attending college is the way to get myself filled with more knowledge and get my goals achived. As I have learned in the past eighteen years, knowledge is the only thing that other people could not be able to take away from you. Sickness might take your health away; bankcrupcy might take your money away; acccidents might take people's life away; however, if you have the knowledge, no one will be able to take it away. College is different than high school. First year of college is also a transmission to me. I'm depend on myself more than on my instructors. I have more free time to balance my study, work and entertainment. It is valuable to attend because college gives me a great opportunity to get more potential out of me.

The thing that has been most important about my college experience has not been the education but the character. I've come to view college as a four year character furnace. The trend I've seen is for many people to go on to have lives in fields they never studied for. The people who are successful and happy are not the ones who complete this degree plan or that degree plan. Rather, its those who make the most of their time here to grow and mature. I've learned the importance of diligence, cooperation and how to go above and beyond the "minimal" requirements. In high school I would do what I could to just get by. Now I actively try to succeed. I honestly don't know what the next stage of my life holds but I know that I have developed the personal character to achieve under any circumstances.

During my two years at Baylor University I have learned so much both in and out of the classroom. My professors are knowledegable in their field and willing to help any student when needed. Many professors want to get to know you as a person and even will have you over for dinner with their family. This is a valuable aspect for me because I am 25 hours away from my home in Pennsylvania and having people here that care really makes a difference in my life.

Unforgettable, amazing, and tiring would all describe my three years at Baylor University. I sometimes ask myself why I decided to graduate early and re-think my decision to get into the real world. Staying up all night studying for tests with friends, who distracted me. Having professors who listened about how I didn't know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Living in a city where the community revolved around the university. I wouldn't change my past three years for anything! Baylor, you've completely transformed me. I came in a scared and nervous freshmen, and here I am leaving as an independent who is ready to face life. Although I've received a Bachelor's degree, I've gained so much more.

I have gotten a lot out of my experience here. I've grown as a person and i feel prepared to go into the real world. I feel that baylor has prepared me for my career one day and that i will go into my life with confidence. I have also had the wonderful opportunity to be apart of several Baylor tradition while here. The Baylor line, Sing and Pigskin as well as Homecoming. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to attend baylor and would not trade it for the world.

I enjoyed going to a community college rather then going to a traditional university first. The fact that college is very expensive was a burden for myself and my family. Going to Ocean County College helped my family financially, because my parents were able to pay for my education instead of taking out college loans. Commuting to college also made it easier for me to remain working at a parttime job to save for my 4 year college. I also enjoyed going to a community college because many of the other students who went there with me were from other high schools in the area, so making friends was quit easy. I liked the fact that it was always busy on campus, everyone always had somewhere to be besides class. The teachers/professors also understood that we were going to a community college so we could have jobs at the same time. Working and going to school isn't easy, but I loved the aspect of learning to juggle more then one thing at a time.

Since attending Baylor, I have been fully engaged in my awareness of career as a means to fulfill life pupose. This is something that has always been important to me. Outside of Baylor's environment this theory does not seem to make much sense to the world. It feels great to finally be encouraged in this way of thinking. It has straightened out the wrinkles of confusion about what I'm trying to do with my life. I know exactly what I want to do, and why I want to do it. I feel that there are soo many different people and cultures at Baylor that stereotyping based on social expectation is nearly impossible, which makes it more comfortable to focus on what your really there for. My teachers care about my purpose, not just my career choice. Other students at Baylor demonstrate the same sincerity and honor about being there and being focused. Attending Baylor has helped me overcome alot of personal anxieties about life, college, careers, peer influence and unacceptance etc. I have been able to feel the power of knowing your own capablities vs. being crippled by self doubt and anxiety.
