Baylor University Top Questions

It's very likely that you'll be able to find a good group of students to hang out with that share many of your interests and beliefs no matter what they may be. Most students are not afraid to be exactly who they are. There's really not one thing that everyone wears to classes. Boys wear whatever they want, because that's just how boys are. Almost all freshman girls are guilt of dressing up for class unnecessarily. Of course upper classman will have days when they just decide to shower and they'll dress up too, but for the most part you'll find most older girls wearing nike short and a tshirt and often a baseball cap as well.

There is quite a bit of diversity among the student population. I think pretty much anyone can find a group to fit into.

I really actually don't feel comfortable answering this question so no comment.

If you want diversity in student body, I'd suggest elsewhere. Baylor has a somewhat diverse population, but most of it is white. Black students are found surrounded by other Black students, and most of which are there on athletic scholarship. Hispanic students have some stand in the school, but not much. As for Asians, they have a good foothold, but not bigger percentage wise than most other schools.

Girls are dressed up to class and guys are all wannabe abercrombie and fitch. 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of ppl who go here are equipped with daddy's credit card.

I already said a lot about the student body under Baylor on whole. Other than that, most students are from Texas it seems like, and namely San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. The campus in general is very politically active, we had a Straw Poll to encourage political awareness, voting, and educated decision-making that got a lot of students talking about the election as well. There's a big Baylor Democrats group and a lot of republicans around campus, I feel like both have a good representation. We have had a run-off the past two years in the Student Government.

Baylor's pretty one-sided in regards to the student body. The vast majority of students are wealthy white kids, and about three-quarters of the student body is seeking either a business or medical degree. Of course, there are always exceptions, and whatever niche it is you fit into, you'll be able to find an accomodating group of like-minded students.

Students wear ridiculous things to class- many sorority girls wear Nike running shorts, a t-shirt, and jogging shoes with their Chanel earrings and purse. You can come to class in your pj's, you can come to class in a tie-- most come in jeans and a t shirt or some sort of top. Everyone loves North Face pullovers.

One bad thing about Baylor is there is no spirit. the Floyd Casey is never full, and same with the Ferrel center. There is a big religious presence if you get plugged in to a local church.

There are more white than any other race, and not by a hair. Baylor is the 'whitest' southern school i have ever seen. There are more women than men, almost 65{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} female population. Class is laid back. You can wear whatever you want... most wear what appears to be what they slept in the night before. Students at Baylor try to be politically active in national politics and also in our local student government.... im not sure what the student government does.... i dont evenr know who they are.... if that says anything.

Baylor has a pretty homogenous crowd. Mostly white, middle-upper class, conservative, and from central/east Texas. Anyone who doesn't fit that description usually sticks to a group other people that are like them. A non-Christian student would definitely feel out of place at Baylor because of the requirements for Chapel and Religion. Most Baylor students are from Dallas, Austin, Houston, etc. There are some out-of-staters though, and they fit in just fine, it's not a huge deal where you're from. Most students are also from wealthier families, since it is a private school. Students generally wear t-shirts and shorts to class. Sperry's are huge. There are a lot of students that dress regularly to class as well, jeans, and sometimes dresses. Students aren't necessarily the most politically active, maybe because we're not very liberal and outspoken.

let's face it, baylor is mainly middle to upper class white kids. the majority are baptist but i myself am not and never felt discriminated because of it. most students are from texas but i found many to be from california, colorado, and the deep south.

The student body is predominantly white, upper middle class students. Although, they do have a fairly big Indian Subcontinent Student Association as well as International student events. Most people wear jeans and t-shirts, but one would be very aware of the latest trend that is sweeping the nation as some are pretty fashionable. Most people tend to stay within groups of similar major or race, and it could be pretty difficult to gain a good group of friends if you are from a different culture. Students talk about politics, class, boys/girls, who's dating who, and religion.

Students that would feel out of place are those who may not believe in a God because students here are very open about religion and may make them feel like they have to accept God. Most students where very casual and relaxed clothing. I know my roommate and I wear sweatpants and a t-shirt to class some days. Other days we may wear blue jeans and t-shirt. We rarely dress up for class, unless we are trying to impress a cute boy.

Oh the students...I am not a fan. Baylor students are self-righteous brats. Baylor is exaclty like high school in the sense that everything is competition. Everyone gossips about each other and cares way too much about who is dating who. There are the popular kids and the wannabes, and everybody knows them. It is so stupid. Baylor kids do not care about anyone but themselves. You have a lot of rich Texans at Baylor who flaunt their money around. Girls can be pretty snobby and act like they are way too cool. Then you read about them on juicycampus.com and find out that they are promiscuous and stupid drunks. Seriously, the gossip at Baylor has got to end. Baylor will block porn sites (for obvious reasons) but they will not protect their student body by banning juicycampus.com, a site where you can anonymously post ANYTHING about ANYONE and EVERYONE at Baylor will read it. People will stab you in the back! Horrible things are said about girls and guys and their reputations are ruined. Their names are pinned on the internet. Also, beware of the guys at Baylor. There are NO cute boys. Do not come to Baylor looking for a sweet cowboy to sweep you off your feet. Baylor guys are jerks and partiers who care nothing about finding a girl for the night. The only place you will find them is in KOT, and the good ones are already taken.

There's a group for almost everything. There's a lot of club teams, Cultural/Ethnic groups, religious groups, political groups, etc. Despite Baylor being a Christian campus, there are people of all religions (and no religions) here who find a place to be themselves. People are generaly friendly, but that's part of the whole Texas atmosphere. Most of the students are from Texas, but I had no problem getting involved as an out-of-stater. Really, this is a great mixing pot, I'm from Florida, would up rooming with a guy from California, and one from Michigan. People are helpful and study groups are easy to slap together.

CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE!!! BEWARE, IF YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIAN, DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL. THEY WILL GANG UP ON YOU AND YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY FRIENDS.

There's no getting around it, Baylor is made up of predominantly white, republican, upper-middle class Baptist students. At least that might be considered the Baylor poster-child. Excuse the generalization, but the stereotypical Baylor student is the one that does indeed drive the '09 Lexus and has their own house custom built for the four years they are here at Baylor. They are probably a business major, only because that looks respectable but doesn't actually require a huge amount of effort, and they aspire to either get married asap if they are a girl, or if they're a boy, graduate with a bba and promptly continue to put forth exactly zero effort and yet somehow manage to acquire his father's business and subsequently make a couple million so they can put their own children through Baylor (Ok that was a little bit biased.. I happen to be part of the 0.0001{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of Baylor students who is getting by on scholarships and student loans). But despite its stereotypical southern Christian demographic, we are not entirely without ethnic and religious diversity. And from what I can tell, non-Christian and Christian students alike benefit from the school's Baptist heritage as a moral foundation and a source of education. If you get here and you're looking for friends that are down to earth, intelligent, and fun, you'll find them. You just might have to look a little harder..

Segregated, clique-ish, very high school 1. WASPs 2. Ethnicities 3. Liberals 4. Greeks 5. Indie-Christians

There is variety in the student body at Baylor, but the students predominently conservative, Christian, and from Texas.
