Baylor University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Tara

That is was so expensive.

Heather

If my educational experience had not have been as fulfilling as it was, I might have wished that I had known about how high tuition was and that it would increase during my time attending Baylor. BUT Baylor well prepared me for entrance into dental school, which I am attending now, so it is a trade-off of sorts. I had an expensive education, but in that I received the qualifications to have the chance to become a doctor and pay back those loans pretty easily.

Jennifer

I wish I would have known how to study the right and most effective way. In high school, I just studied before the class, during lunch, or before school. With a great short term memory, I could spit out the simplistic concept of whateverI was learning. In college, the details are so great, that I become anxious and forget what I have learned. The art of studying for biology exams and other challenging classes would have made the world of difference to me and my my GPA.

John

I wish that I had known how boring Waco was. I am coming around to it now but it has taken three years.

Sarah

I wish I had made the most of the first few weeks. They give you so many opportunities to get involved and make friends, and it is much easier to do that at the beginning when everyone is trying to do the same thing. Being open-minded and willing to jump into anything helps.

Sara

Honestly nothing, I feel like my high school did a very good job preparing me for college, and Baylor presented itself very accurately so I knew what I was in for.

Meredith

I wish I had fully been able to comprehend how much the older students love freshman. I knew that they wanted to be our friend, but I had not idea how genuine that desire was until I became an upperclassman myself.

Ryan

Waco is a city that takes some adjustment.

Robert

How closed minded the entire school is and how that affects the quality of education.

Nathan

i wish i would have known some upper classmen or got involved in student activities quicker. the first few weeks of college were rough trying to find the place i would eventually fit in.
