Baylor University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the high cost of tuition coupled with the limited financial resources for students who need the aid.

There is less diversity in Baylor University than I expected, and for the most part, various groups tend to stay with their own groups. The surrounding Waco community is also very poverty stricken, and there is not much to do outside of campus. However, Austin and Dallas are only about 2 hours away.

The worst thing about my school is the little financial aid offered to only children with married parents, such as myself.

Unfortunately Baylor is one of the most expensive schools in Texas. Although it's ranked and a private school many students struggle trying to make it successfully through their four years. Financial aid is very hard to contact and it's a struggle to increase the aid you recieve. The financial counselors advise students to get loans when money doesn't add up. Many people I know have had to leave because they can't afford the school after attending for one or two years. The majority of the students know people who have had to leave because of finances.

The school does not really listen to the needs and or wants of the students. I understand we are a religous school but there're students who attend that are not religous. I believe Baylor could be more excepting of those facts. Also I think we need to stop being concerned about the 2012 plan and start thinking of other item to improve on such as the FCS building needing updates and the older style dorms. We pay a lot of money to go here and we would like to see improvement its building we already have.

The worst thing about the school is the price tag. tuition is very high, and definately not affordable for the average U.S income. Tied in with the cost of the school is the people attending this school, most of the students here have vehicles, cell phones, apartments, and all the newest gadgets and fashions. A large percent of students come from upper class families, so for me coming from a family who live below the U.S poverty line it is hard to see their waste, ignorance and carlessness when dealing with money.

My school doesn't always accomodate all the different ethnicities that attend.

I believe the close-minded individuals who run the school would be the worst thing about it. Because of the school's size, its location and the classes it offers, it has the potential to be an amazing university. However, the board members, as well as some of the faculty and staff have created a "Baylor bubble" that keeps Baylor students from enjoying or helping the city of Waco. They are set in their beliefs and refuse to change them.

The worst thing about Baylor University is definitely it?s cost of tuition. Baylor tuition varies between 35,000 to 40,000 a year with room and board. It?s an expense that many students? families can?t afford with today economy, even though Baylor does offer many scholarships and financial aid. I think that Baylor being a private university has a lot to do with its high tuition however, I feel that because of the tuition cost many students wont be able to attend a school that might maximize their college education dramatically.

The drinking water is very hard and has a different taste.
