Baylor University is an amazing school in every way! What I love most about Baylor is that they are an UNAPOLOGETIC Christian school!! If you are looking for a school that will push and grow your faith, not just from the institution itself but the peers you surround yourself with, this is the university for you! Academics are top tier— the student to teacher ratio is smaller allowing for students to get a grasp at the subjects at hand, if you’re have trouble with a subject there’s a whole building designed for getting you extra help, for example they offer student instructors which are free and available to you! There is a club for everyone at Baylor, and if you don’t see one you like make a new one! The food options for the most part are decent and large in variety with multiple different dining halls. The gym is fairly decent in size and there is a ton in the actual building itself but it does get busy! And there’s always events going on so you will always have something to do!

My experience at Baylor was good for my first time at college. The campus was big, had many events and clubs to join, the professors were nice, the students were friendly, and the dorms and cafeterias were excellent. The only thing taking the experience down was my religion classes. I am not Christian yet decided to join Baylor and take the classes since it was a requirement, and I was interested in learning about other religions. Unfortunately, I can't go another year because my dad bought my family a new house. Plus, the amount of grants I receives in the Fall 2022-Spring 2023 year dropped because of how much my dad was earning. If my dad couldn't pay it in case something like this would've happened, then he should've said that this can't be paid, and I could've chosen the other colleges I had as choices.

I was able to make many friends who I got along with and who shared my values. It also is a pretty campus and all of the dorms are decently nice. However, many of the events are very disorganized even ones that are important. Additionally, there is a sort of “status quo” here that you would want to fit in order to not be judged such as being a Christian and have more conservative beliefs. Also, the surrounding area is not very pretty and there is not much to do.

Review Baylor University

I'm so glad I chose this school. I feel that the education here is exceptional quality, and nearly everyone I've met has been so nice and welcoming. (I do wish tuition was a bit lower, however I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else!)

Love the campus, the events and culture, the amenities, the education and overall experience. I'm proud to be a Baylor Bear!

During orientation, I was guided by a student with provided insight from a different perspective. It intrigued me enough to make me want to attend. Asa new student on campus, I have found it to be very welcoming, friendly and nice. The Professors are helpful. The environment feels more like family rather than a campus.

Baylor provides me with a great education and is a great school. I am in Baylor's Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. It has been the best experience for me. I am sad that I will be graduating in just a little over a year. I would like to see the expansion of the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program and see more men join the profession. It is a program that is holistic and provides a good Christian based education.

I went to Baylor because multiple family members of mine also had the opportunity to go here. I loved almost all of my professors and I felt as though I had very solid learning. There were also many opportunities to get involved as student. However, there were some areas that Baylor can improve on. They are not very inclusive, especially toward students who have a disability or identify as LGBTQ+. This is a huge factor of why I gave the campus a 3.

Overall, Baylor has been a great school with many positive things to offer. However, I feel as though the competitive nature of the school can be a large burden within the collegiate atmosphere. On the other hand, however, I do believe that the faculty and staff truly care for their students and wish them the best. My professors have truly made Baylor a pleasant experience for me, as they understand the need for a healthy balance between yearning for success and allowing yourself grace.

Up until now, my journey at Baylor University has been truly transformative. I deeply appreciate the warm and inclusive community that thrives here. Beyond my academic commitments, I also contribute as a campus tour guide, which has proven to be an invaluable opportunity for engagement and professional growth.

Overall, the school is great! For the most part, the academic programs are taught well. The small class size enhances the learning experience. The only drawback is the location. Waco is in the middle of nowhere.

Great experience, I love the campus and the professors are more then willing to help. I don’t feel like just a number there I feel that they really care about my success.

Baylor is pushing CRT issues instead of teaching. Introductory biology just pushed CRT. I got tired of hearing how all successful people and white people are racist. DO NOT GO TO BAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are no longer the school they used to be.

Classes and professors are awesome and campus is beautiful waco on the other hand is not. I love Baylor but Waco is just not a town that you can just go and walk around. While we’ve seen major improvements in the last few years to the city as a whole there’s still needs a lot of work

Beautiful campus with fun and unique traditions. Great sports scene and Waco is an exciting city which only seems to keep growing.

Baylor is a university focused on forging relationships. Most people fear going off to college, but Baylor ensures that is not the case with their students. They hold your hand through the entire process and make you become confident about your choice in them. The downside to Baylor University is that it is increasingly more expensive each and every year. Scholarships are a necessity when attending Baylor.

Overall, it was a good experience. Taking online courses gives you more freedom during your day while still being provided a great education.

Review Baylor University

The school aims to incorporate both challenging their students and allowing their students to have fun. They continuously have something going on campus from a farmers' market to a band playing on the stage. They have so many clubs that their students can participate in. It is a beautiful university. The only thing is that it has high tuition and makes their students move from one of the parking garages for the guest visiting for the football games.

It is a nice campus and the people are nice, but the professors make the classes unnecessarily difficult and it puts some people behind. I would like to see a more reasonable workload.

At Baylor I found it nurtured my social skills better than I could have expected. The school not only has challenging and worthwhile classes with great professors, but I found myself as more of a people person because of the school's size. The school isn't too big to be lost in the masses, but not too small where meeting new people isn't possible every week. I also find that the school has a lot of pride which contributes to a happier and healthier environment amongst how tiring academics can get sometimes. Also there are people from every state and many countries in attendance making the social experience even more exciting, it's like a taste of every aspect of the country on one beautiful campus.
