Baylor University Top Questions

I wish I had known how difficult it could be living away from home. Adjusting, even at a wonderful place like Baylor, is very difficult and not something that you can really study for like a class. That's why I'm glad I visited campus during my senior year of high school. I shudder to think about how difficult it would have been if I had not felt comfortable then.

I wish I had known how expensive my books were going to be so I could save up.

I wish I had known how to get involved in activities sooner.

I wish I would have known how to manage my time a little more wisely and to surround myself with people that had similar positive interests.

I wish I had known more about the different majors my school offered so that I could have made a more informed decision about what to study.

I wish I would have known more about what classes I would be taking as an undergrad and more about what that looked like.

How much money would be spent on non-school related stuff.

I wish I had known how much it takes to go to Baylor. For example, how much money it takes attend Baylor, how much concentration it takes to stay ahead in my classes in order to keep my scholarships, and how much maturity it takes to live on my own.

I wish I would have known to not take too much time socializing with friends and focus more on school work, high school is full of second chances and third chances.... etc. But in college things are based mostly on exams and few second chances are given.

That there is multiple ways to get invovled here. Make sure you get involved. I knew what I wanted to be involved with and it has helped me academically and socially during my time at Baylor.
