The Baylor campus is absolutely gorgeous. Green grass, towering trees, and a healthy mix of state of the art new buildings and old, historic buildings. It is also relatively small - one can traverse the whole thing in about 15 minutes on foot. This makes it great for getting between classes. One sore spot is the parking situation - most of the more central parking garages fill up early in the morning, if they weren't already full the night before from dorm-residents. You learn the right places to park so that you don't have to worry about it so much.

The students here are all about Christianity. (Girls group, guys group, life group, church functions, bombarding facebook Bible quotes [condemning, judgmental, or self investing], "preyer and worship" facebook invites, coffee talks, holiday sermons, sidewalk preaching, School-church functions). If you are not christian or conservative you will drown here. As for the rich kid stereotype... It is a stereotype for a reason. You will see plenty of beats headphones, crazy nice cars, and fashion statements around campus. Free thinkers are scarce and those who don't fit the christian mold are outcast. You better either have a strong head or a bible in hand. Also "Ring-by-Spring" is a real thing. Girls come here to find a husband. It is not abnormal to get married while still attending school.

Baylor is a Baptist University so it is understandable that many students who attend Baylor would be from a religious background. However, there are other denominations represented at this school. More importantly, students and teachers do not throw their religion around but it is a comfort to know that their are so many here on campus who are willing to discuss about any questions about your faith.

Baylor is a great school! There are tons of activities to help the students get involved-both Christian organizations and clubs for each major. Also, Baylor has a great thing called All Univeristy Sing. This is when each fraternity and sorority create a 7 minute broadway type show that is peeformed as a competition against everyone else. The top acts then get to go on and perform again on Homecoming weekend. This is just one example of how the students can get involved, meet new people and have fun!

There are several stereotypes about Baylor. One is that all of the students are wealthy and snobby. This is very unaccurate, considering the amount of students that are here on scholarship and could not afford Baylor if it wasn't for that.

No. There are kids who come from wealthy families and those who are very involved with their faith, but that can be found at any college. We have a large Greek presence. Many people join a fraternity or sorority in the spring of their freshman year, but if that’s not for you that’s okay, as well. We also have the athletes and band kids. Most people are members of at least one organization. There is something for everyone at Baylor.

The stereotype about Baylor is that it is very christian and all the students are very Baptist! I have met many students and most ARE christian/Baptist and so on- but not everyone. You will meet plenty of people, even atheists and agnostics.

The most popular student organizations have to be Greek Life. Almost one third of all of Baylor's students are in a greek lettered organization. I am involved in a predominantly African American sorority in the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and I wouldn't trade the relationships I have formed with my sisters for anything. I can say that joining my sorority has been the most fulfilling aspect of my college career, and I would definetely encourage others to research Greek Life and join a sorority that fits them. Students are heavily involved in athletics as well, whether its intermurals or attending games. Both mens and womens basketball has been highly ranked the past few years, and students always back the bears! On a typical Saturday night there is always going to be a party somewhere but there are other activities on and off campus which don't involvue underage drinking. Common Grounds is an extremely popular coffee house which often has live bands, local Baylor talent, or outdoor movies playing. If you attend Baylor, going to Common Grounds is a must. Other unique places in Waco that Baylor students frequent is Katie's Custard, Spice Village, and the Dr. Pepper Museum

I think that you need to add more of a section for people who have graduated college and asked them questions pertaning to life after college as well as during college. Maybe, how did your education help you today or if you could do it again would you attend this college.

I've always been told that going to college was going to be an eye-opening experience, but I never really imagined it being this way. Baylor has been an amazing experience for me, mainly due to the people. It really doesn't matter if you're talking to a student or to a member of the faculty, everyone is friendly, respectful, and, most shockingly, honest.

The "snob" stereotype is accurate for a higher percentage of people than other schools I've been around. The most abundant accumulation of these type of people exist in the Greek system. That said, there are still many students in and out of the Greek systems who are indeed down to earth, but you may need to look a little hard to find them. The religious stereotype is less accurate. There are a lot of students, more so girls than guys, in whom it is obvious that they hold their faith very close. However, it is college, and at one point or another, you will find most all students here will throw their inhibitions to the wind.

Baylor has a place for everyone but you just might have to look for it.

They are true for some people, but most people are very friendly.

Parties are fun, but there is a lot of drinking. There's nothing else to do in this hell-hole of a town but drink away your sorrows about your chem test that you made a 22 on because the class average was a 25.

Seroiusly consider how you want your life to be at Baylor. If you are okay being bored out of your mind in a lame city not having the typical college experience, then Baylor is for you. Like lots of my friends say, if you loved high school, you will hate Baylor, but if you hated high school, you will love Baylor. Stay on campus when you visit! ASK QUESTIONS FROM STUDENTS! Those student guides will feed you nothing but lies, so watch your back! Look around and consider all options. Just because your parents loved Baylor 30 years ago does NOT mean you will.

For most of the students this may appear true, but there are also quite a few on scholarship and federal work study. Many students work their way through college and aren't all that preppy.

The first stereotype is untrue; much of the student body is unapologetically Christian, but they're hardly going to hate you for not being one of them. There is a healthy diversity, and even healthy controversy, in ideas political, religious and aesthetic.

These stereotype is not entirely accurate. I mean there are some rich, stuck-up students, but ever college has a few of those. There are also students that come from wealthy backgrounds, but they did not act stuck-up, they like to kick back and hang out.

The biggest recent controversy involved Dr. Pepper, Baylor`s official soft drinks. Some students started a rumor that coke was going to replace Dr. Pepper and that got all the Baylor DP fans rowled up. This is one indicator of school pride, which Baylor has much of. Also, many professors were denied tenure this year and that caused a little upstir.
