had a great experience, but it is not for everyone.
I am conservative and religious so Baylor was a perfect
fit for me. The professors were very supportive and approachable.
Half of my classes had a class size less than
12 students and a number of my professors would have
get togethers at their homes. Baylor does require all students
to take classes in many different fields (including religion), but
it helped me become a well rounded student. Having the
additional classes benefited me in my previous job and in
law school. The facilities are awesome and the technology and
computers are constantly upgraded. The whole school is wireless as
well. I enjoyed the campus life, but life at Baylor
can be a pain if you are not involved in
an organization (greek or otherwise). Waco is definitely not Dallas
or Austin but it has all the essentials and the
bars and restaruants around town are decent. The student body
is very active and athletic; the students frequent the campus
gym and run the “Bear Trail” around campus all the
time. I loved being involved and loved the fact that
Baylor wasn't only focused on academics. Activities like SING, Homecoming
events, intramural sports, NCAA sports, campus sponsored events, and greek
sponsored events made life on campus enjoyable. The only bad
experience I had with Baylor was with its career services
department. The resources in the career library were lacking and
none of the counselors had any decent contacts with companies
or well established alumni. I decided to go to law
school so I wasn't completely out of luck, but I
think most students have to do a lot of their
own leg work when finding a job.

Responses| Thanks for your commments on Baylor. I was wondering if you could answer a few more questions. What did you major in to go to law school. at Baylor. Is it hard to get good grades? What were your grades in college and high school and test scores? Was it hard to get into law school. I am concerned about getting internships and a job after Baylor too. Do the companies in Dallas near SMU or TCU recruit Baylor students? Thanks for your time. |
Dear questioner: Every individual follows his or her own path to success. While some may deem that comparing high school to college grades is helpful, others argue that for the best and worst students, no major changes can be produced simply from a change in learning environment. Finally, companies across the U.S. are always happy to recruit students from ANY accredited institution--trying to generalize the actions of all businesses in a city is risky business. Suffice it to say that Baylor is respected within Texas and the U.S. |
