I am a current sophomore, and I have loved my experience at Baylor so far! I have been through many challenges so far in college, both personally and academically, and I have found myself surrounded by mentors in life and faith as well as friends who support me all along the way! Baylor fosters community so naturally, and, as a result, I have grown significantly in my faith and made several lifelong friends. My professors have all been phenomenal, focusing on both my personal and academic growth. I have also developed a great deal of camaraderie within the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core, an alternate core curriculum within the Honors College at Baylor. While Baylor has brought its challenges, I have grown in my faith much more than I could've ever imagined, and I have made many strong relationships the likes of which I could not have anywhere else! Baylor is truly a special place!
I am currently taking an online masters program. The bright side is that it's online and classes are at night time. They are live session classes with all of your classmates so attendance is mandatory but I have majority of the professors so far to be very understanding if my kids are around. I have a toddle that sometimes ends up in class! You are paying the same amount of tuition as students on campus with much less time and exposure to your professors. This is not their full-time job so many of them take many days to reply to emails and its honestly not fair. I'm ok with the online portion but I 100% believe that the tuition should be at least 20% less than on campus students. You do NOT get the same education. Majority is self taught, which again is fine because it's an online class but I do not feel that I am getting a 6 figure education. It's honestly robbery.
I really like the environment and the people! Everyone always made me feel safe and welcome to express my thoughts and opinions. The campus is absolutely beautiful! Only thing is that sometimes, when you pay so much money to go there, there are things that irritate you. For example, some of the professors didn’t seem to care much about teaching. They were very focused on just doing research; however, those professors were far and few between. Most of the professors really did care about helping their students.
