Baylor University Review Summary

Those who seek out a more religiously conservative campus usually have to opt for a smaller, lesser known institution of higher learning but one university that is religious in orientation and offers a well known name is Baylor University. Baylor is located in Waco, Texas and it offers plenty of academic scholarships, great professors, and a high graduation rate. The cost of tuition at Baylor University is quite high and this could discourage some from attending this private religious school. But Baylor University is still “A Great School to Attend” and those who have attended there consider it one of the better Colleges and Universities for those who don’t mind a little religion with their academics.

I can sum it up fairly simply:

The regents at Baylor have far too much influence, or maybe it is that their influence is generally a thinly veiled attempt to turn Baylor into a church.  For a school that is trying to move itself into the upper tier this seems counterproductive.  Much of Baylor's moral...

I graduated from the Recreation Division of the School of Education in 1998.  At the time of that graduation, I would have recommended Baylor to anybody.  However, some recent changes in the school mission and administration makes me less than happy.  With that said, I believe that it is still a quality...

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...

Really great place, it's big inside and has GREAT teachers. The down side is that you must pay alot of money each semester but, other than that 90% grad. and become what they want to be. you should check out the web page it is really good site http://www.baylor.edu/ you must have a good gpa at least 3.6 or higher. there are alot of majors here are some.

As the daughter of a paycheck-to-paycheck type of family, I always thought of Baylor as unattainable. It was my distant dream; something I loved the idea of but knew I could never be a part of. Fortunately for me, Baylor is the type of school that will pave your way to them with financial aid if they know that you want to be a student bad enough. Even though my class ranking in HS wasn't that great, and I wasn't a member of any sort of honor society, I was able to get a ton of money for tutition. If Baylor wants you and they know you want to be there, they'll find a way to make it happen.

Baylor University offers many things. Classes are large enough for each student to benefit from many perspectives but small enough for each student to get individual attention from the professor. Professors are caring people who are interested in helping out the student. They often give out their home phone numbers so that students can contact them for help if needed. The degree programs are nationally recognized. Class assignment are rigorous but not impossible. The cost is unfortunately high, but financial aid counselors are available to help the students find scholarships, grants and loans...

Baylor was a great place to go to school! I loved the size! It was small enough to see the same face twice but large enough to meet new people everyday! I never had school pride until I went to Baylor! I received a great education and learn valuable life lessons!

Baylor University is a wonderful school. It is just small enough to know a lot of people, but big enough to have big sports and amazing facilities. The faculty really care about the students.
