I
attended Baylor for four years and graduated with a BA
in journalism/public relations and political science. I have both good
and bad things to say about the school. I feel
like the academics are great, if you choose the right
professors (there are some terrible ones, but that's at any
school) and put your best effort into it, you can
receive a great education. Some of my professors and classes
truly changed my life and my viewpoints. The students are
impressively hard-working and smart, for the most part. Many are
very close-minded, sheltered, and SPOILED. 75% of the student body
carries Daddy's credit card and many live in apartments that
look like vacation resorts. Even though more than half of
the students are not Greek, the Greek scene dominates the
social life at Baylor. Even supposedly “All-University” events like Homecoming
and football games are segregated and dominated by sororities and
fraternities. The students are largely friendly, but many in a
fake way. If you don't feel comfortable with the Christian,
and particularly Baptist, lifestyle, do NOT come here. Chapel and
religion (specifically, Christian) classes are required and “non-Baptist” lifestyles and
choices are strongly condemned. And yes, the school is very
expensive. Unless you have Mom and Dad happily footing the
bill, or are able to get a big scholarship (and
maintain grades), then I would recommend a state school. I
often get a strange reaction when I tell people I
graduated from Baylor. “Baptist, huh?” with a smirk. I never
expected that. Yes, I do feel like my degree is
prestigious, but it definitely comes with a stigma.
