Baylor University Review

Baylor is a good place to get a quality education.  Though I have been disappointed with a few things- Christianity is a big deal here and you will be asked where you go to church by total strangers- I am very happy I decided to go to Baylor.  Though it may seem like everyone is fratty, rich, and Christian, Baylor actually does have a pretty diverse population, especially because they are giving out amazing scholarships.  The school is big enough that it isn't awkward if you break up with someone but small enough that it is easy to make friends.  I lived in the honors dorm and highly suggest doing so to others.  It has a more diverse and interesting population plus better rooms and bathrooms.  Also, I have had some really amazing professors and they aren't all conservative, in fact very few of mine have been (I am in the English department, BIC, and honors).  The gym at Baylor is really nice and free to students, and there are tons of things to do after class.  Waco is much cooler than grads give it credit for too, there is a volunteer bike shop where you can learn to service your own bike, some really quirky antique shops, a music scene, and great local restaurants and pubs.  Really I think that if you don't mind being talked to about religion every once in a while there is something for everyone, and if you are like me and thinking about it because it offered you a lot of money, don't fear, you will get a really good education, meet cool friends, be stimulated by professors, have a good time, and not regret your choice (I hope).  Overall, I think Baylor is not my perfect fit but I still really like it.
