Taylor University

Date: Dec 31 1969
Major: Music - Performance (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated from Taylor in 1974. At the time I began, my perception was that the general atmosphere was open and accepting. But the longer I stayed and after graduating and reflecting on my experience after graduate school and working on other college campuses, I am convinced that Taylor suffers from a narrow view, probably because of its tilt toward a more conservative evangelical world view. The broad palate of ideas that one ought to encounter in college is not what I experienced and, I fear, it has not improved. I have visited several times and I found the students to be somewhat self-absorbed, a criticism I believe the faculty of my era earned. Based on the limited amount of information I had when I made my choice to go to Taylor, I did OK. Based on what I have learned since, I wish I had invested more energy and thought into my choice because I would choose to go elsewhere. If you wish to expand your perspective and world view, Taylor is truly a poor choice. Selah.
