Baylor University Reviews

"Baylor's accounting program is well-known around the U.S., and it has been a huge benefit while applying for jobs. The curriculum is very rigorous, but rewarding when hard work pays off. My teachers have been eager to help me succeed, offering one-on-one help with homework or studying for tests, and have offered me on-campus jobs to make some extra money. I'm so glad I chose Baylor and decided to pursue a career in accounting."

"I believe that Baylor University is a wonderful school. The campus atmosphere is one that always feels welcoming and warm, which is occasionally hard to find on a college campus. The professors here are some of the best I have ever seen, as they are knowledgable in their fields and they genuinely want to build a relationship with you. Overall, I loved my time at Baylor University and I would no doubt recommend it to anyone who is looking to further their education while pursuing the Christian faith.Read Less"

"I have been so pleased with my time at Baylor, especially time spent in the Honors program. Professors pushed me to think and ask difficult questions. I was often challenged, but the challenges were offered as opportunities for growth, not as opportunities to put me down. The pre-health programs gave me ample opportunities to strengthen my resume, making my an excellent candidate for graduate school. My fellow students dived deeply into meaningful friendships with me and encouraged me to learn, inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the rather high price, I wouldn't trade my experience at Baylor for anything.Read Less"

"Baylor is a great University and provided me with the progam that met my needs for higher education"

"Baylor is a exceptional school. I not only received an excellent education in social work but also learned how to be a Christ filled person."

"The International Studies program at Baylor is perfect for students who have various interests. It allows you to choose a subject focus and a work area focus; I chose to study the politics of western Europe. But you could also study language, history, art, etc. of anywhere in the world. You can tailor this degree to be exactly what you would like, and there is also flexibility to change your path as you go. The one major drawback to Baylor is a lack of diversity; not only does it lack diversity of race and religion (religion, understandably), but also lacks students who represent all socioeconomic backgrounds and regions of the country and world. As a student coming from out of state, I felt woefully out of place for a long time. The quality of education I received at Baylor was top-notch. There were many opportunities to explore subjects in depth, and professors to help you along the way. I was challenged, but not left to go it alone. I realized that I was so much more able that I had first thought. Being at Baylor stretched me and made me a better student and a better human overall.Read Less"

"Baylor University was a place that I thrived academically, emotionally/mentally, socially, and spiritually. It changed my life. I made so many amazing friends and still keep in touch with 1/3 of my professors today. I am unbelievably grateful and blessed for such an amazing time in my life to explore, learn, grow, and experience college at this institution. I have been impacted by my professors and changed by all the amazing support I had there. I miss Baylor so much that I visited three times this year. Baylor helped integrate me into campus life, participate in all the traditions, and encouraged me to become a better person. I am forever a proud alum and am extremely grateful!Read Less"

"My experience at Baylor was great from the very beginning. Student Life does a great job of providing you opportunities to make connections. I had the opportunity to be involved in many different activities and make lasting relationships. Studying Political science was great. The faculty are passionate about their content matter and make it engaging. I only took one course taught by a graduate student and never had a Political Science course with more than 25 students."

"This program is wonderful. The program director has been such a helpful guide through the whole process. Baylor is a beautiful campus with a wealth of opportunities. I would highly recommend this program for any student looking to boost their resume for internships and to receive a diverse and exceptional experience."

"Baylor's education program is extremely thorough. You are placed in classrooms your first year, working with students in Central Texas. The program also is heavily research-driven. Unlike many schools, where pedagogy and teaching strategies are an afterthought, Baylor is constantly working to find strategies that are backed by science. If you want to specialize in areas like occupational therapy, speech pathology, or learning disorders, Baylor is doing cutting edge research in these areas."

"It's a great school and it took me places I could only dream of and it can do the same for you."

"The Graduate School of Social Work is an incredibly field-oriented program with lots of hands on work. The professors are incredibly helpful and knowledgable on their skill sets within the field of social work. They are readily available and very involved with graduate students' well-being in the program. The work assigned is all very useful and practical for the field of work we are going into. The international social work side of the program is not yet as developed as is desired, however it is moving towards having a more international emphasis.Read Less"

"Baylor is an institution that is unwaveringly dedicated to the academic wellbeing of its students, particularly in regards to those studying STEM-related fields. In many cases, professors are more than willing to engage undergraduates in their personal research, provided students are willing to approach them in-person and show initiative through coursework. Some of the most meaningful relationships I made at Baylor were with professors outside my field of study, so do not fear deviating from a logical "path" of coursework.Read Less"

"It is a fast-paced program (a year and a half instead of 2 years). It is very intense. The faculty and staff are very accessible and helpful. The Baylor program is like trial by fire. If you survive it, you will have loads of opportunities for a career and be so prepared to survive any clinical experience. You take classes and work in the campus Speech, Hearing, and Language clinics full time, year-round. The professors and clinical supervisors are experts and leaders in their fields that guide you through becoming more independent as a clinician.Read Less"

"I love Baylor and if I need to ever further my education, I hope I can attend again. It is challenging but the feeling of pride when you receive your diploma is worth it"

"Baylor University is an incredible university. I had many wonderful experiences there and those experiences shaped who I am today. Baylor's Honors College programs are academically rigorous, but professors will share their vast knowledge with you, speak to you on a personal level, and help you form intelligent opinions on various issues. Professors are friendly, knowledgable, and glad to share their vast knowledge with students. Baylor gives you a sense of community and you truly feel at home there. It's a place where you can grow intellectually and personally. I cannot recommend Baylor enough to those who are interested in applying or attending. Sic 'em!Read Less"

"Pros: Definitely the accessibility of the graduate faculty and collaborating on research projects is great. The department is small enough that everyone knows one another and feels like a close knit family. The courses on offer are great if you are doing a Thesis/School Psych/ABA and the faculty who teaches all the courses are highly knowledgable in their fields. Cons: Waco is quite small, there is not a lot of entertainment on offer. There are only a few bars downtown, and a lack of transportation other than driving. A lot of Mexican food and many fast food restaurants near campus. Not much diversity food wise. Also there is not a lot on offer socialization wise for grad students, it is heavily focused on under grads.Read Less"

"I loved Baylor. Had a big university feel (Division 1 sports, greek life, etc) but small school component, too. Small classes, smaller freshman class."

"Excellent liberal arts education. The faculty are tremendous scholars and wonderful human beings. The department has the quality of a big family."

"Close knit community. Intelligent people. I can not describe how blessed I was to attend this school. I wouldn't trade it for anything."
