    I came with my daughter for our campus visit all the way from California. I must say if you come…read morefor a campus visit by appointment they will roll out the red carpet for you. I won't tell you everything they do to keep it a surprise but it'll probably be your nicest college tour. Baylor was a beautiful campus and looks to be an amazing place to go to college. My daughter is still making her decision but very impressed with Baylor.

Baylor is a highly Christian and conservative university and has low tolerance for other religions and lifeways. It has a strange selective hiring practice in which your religion, faith, and beliefs are more important than academic abilities. Academic excellence takes a back seat to cultural and religious conformity at Baylor. I do not think the current $70-80 k/year price tag for Baylor is worth it, when a better education can be delivered for a fraction of the cost by excellent State schools. Too many of the Baylor students come from a narrow demographic of very well-off families, 75% from Texas. Waco is a dry, dull and staid place to live and often the student population ventures to Austin or Dallas on weekends. If sports, is your sole interests, than Baylor/Waco may be more attractive. I advise caution going to Baylor because behind the groomed grounds, and plastered smiles there is a monolithic religious culture that is unwelcoming to diversity and differences, that are common among use. I question the quality and meaning of higher education under such narrow strictures.
