The school is great it’s small but not too small everyone is very welcoming from the staff to the teachers to the students! This is a Christian school so they do have lots of lovely worship nights and they love to pray over all of the students whenever they get the chance which I love! And even if you aren’t super religious it’s not necessarily forced upon you at this school they just want you to thrive and know you are loved regardless!

Nhur - 04/10/2024

I went to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor for a year before transferring to Baylor University. UMHB is a small and wonderful university with a beautiful campus. The class sizes are small but the classes themselves have great content. I enjoy smaller classes, although they oddly feel impersonal. I was in the nursing program for a semester and it was amazing. The course content is tough but there is plenty of help from upperclassmen and faculty. There is also an amazing simulation lab for nursing students to practice in. I lived off campus and had no meal plan so I'm not entirely sure about the quality of on-campus housing or dining,

Trysten - 11/09/2023

I really enjoy living on campus at UMHB, The university of Mary Hardin-Baylor, all of my professors all have their own office hours that they keep on a tight schedule. All of my professors are also very open to helping you if you are having issues, they're opening say to talk to them if you are experiencing anything and need help.

Rachel - 03/30/2023

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is the perfect school for me. There are lots of different clubs to join, and everyone is very caring and outgoing. The class sizes are smaller than what you would get at a larger school, and that means the teachers are able to help you out more if there is a problem. It is also a very Christian oriented school, and that is an aspect that I personally value a lot.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Get a goddamn license, find a car, and go to where you (we? I?) know you would have liked to go. If the school I actually did go to is any indicator, you'll do just fine if you rely on yourself and don't expect anyone else to pick up the slack. You come from a long line of hard workers, the blood in your heart knows what to do. Remember to make time to read and sleep and write, don't let your greatest talent rust over. Be strong and courageous, never falter in support of your friends, always comfort them, never be a burden. Your greatest challenge will be the people around you. Visit the family more; you mean the world to them. Things are about to go to shit, you can already tell. Be like a rock, solid and firm. Your brothers and mother depend on it. Also, waste no time in losing weight and growing a beard, once you do that you'll finally be able to look in the mirror and smile. That helps.

    The University of Mary Hardin Baylor is rich with tradition. Each year the incoming freshman class has a welcome week. Welcome week takes place the week before classes start. During welcome week the freshman class is split into "family" groups, with upper class-man taking responsibilities as leaders.

  14. What are the academics like at your school?

    The main sections that UMHB really excels at are Christian Studies, Nursing, and Teaching. For anything else i really suggest you go to another school. I'm not downing UMHB but it's really expensive. If you decide you want to front the bill in a case of a Business, or Accounting degree you are really just paying for the community and teacher to student ratio. (which isn't bad ur just not receiving UMHB in all its glory)

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    UMHB is located in Belton TX where there is not too much to do so we are stuck being creative and making things up (which can be just as fun if not better). We have a small movie theatre (The Beltonian) which has either cheap or free movies showing (and yes they are up-to-date new releases). Other than that we have Wal-Mart (lol) and Austin only 45 minutes away. Lots of first year complaints have come from the rules that are put in place on campus (no drinking, period, no guys in girls dorms or vice-versa unless posted times), but its really not that bad. At least the dorm that i'm in (McLane) the staff isn't out to get you.

  16. What is the stereotype of students at your school?

    UMHB students are very outgoing and friendly. UMHB is a place where everyone knows each other. Not in the since of let me into your personal bubble and gossip, but because it is such a small school you build community with everyone you know. Most students have a heart for God (or at least want to) but if you don't that's ok too. UMHB is a place of learning influenced by God but understand too non-christians ARE welcome!

  17. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    There is ALWAYS something going on at UMHB to do. We have CAB (Campus Activities Board) that puts on all different kinds of events. Pretty much on a weekly basis you can find something to do. We have Stunt Night which is kinda like a Saturday Night Live, where each class gets to put on a funny skit and we get to judge it via txt voting. There is just to much to list.

  18. Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?

    For the most part... We have a small crowd of people that like to do the partying and drinking seen (which is against school policy FYI). But for the most part everyone has a good head on their shoulders.
