Baylor University Top Questions

My college experience has allowed me to grow up and mature tremendously. I am from Illinois and go to college in Texas. That was one huge adjustment for me. I went to a high school of about 5,000 students, and not one of them attend college in Texas. All my friends and family live/attend school in the Midwest, so I came to college completely alone. I was forced to learn how to take care of myself, go out of my comfort zone to meet new people, and to manage my time well. At first, it was hard and scary. All I wanted to do was go home and/or transfer to a university where all my best friends go. It was a challenging first year, but I could not be happier with the choice I made to attend Baylor. It has really helped mold me into the woman I strive to be, and I would not have been able to do that if I had stayed within my comfort zone at a state school where everyone from my high school went; there's no comparable value to that.

The thing that I have gotten out of my college experience is how to take 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} responsible for all my actions, better study habbits, and how to manage my time. College have taught me a lot about myself such as finding my inner self and to never put things off until the last minute. I look at myself now as being a better person and knowing what I want and how to go get it. College have taught me that partying is not always the answer that I should make time to go over my notes at least 15 minutes a day everyday until I can understand the information and also it will help me to store the information in my long term memory. I have also learned that I have to want this for myself and not for any one in order for me to really be successful in school.

I've learned that going to class is a very important part of my grade, going to a community college is a lot cheaper than a university & seeing an advisor makes picking out classes a lot easier. I've also found out that going to a university is very different from a community college because it's harder to get the schedule I want & it's harder to find parking. It's been valuable to attend college because I've become more independant since I live on my own, I've learned more about myself & what career I can see myself doing in the future. College has been an amazing learning experience so far & I plan on enjoying it for another 3 more years.

i have gotten multiple important credits at a discounted local community college. this experience has prepared me for the trandfer to a four-year university.

More than anything, my college experience has awakened the thirst for knowledge that I had when I was younger. The faculty and the school has reminded me that in order to learn I also have to understand. While that may sound a bit redundant, I mean to say that the school helps to teach students who come in thinking that they're are well prepared and ready for the next challenge a sense of humility. A student needs to understand from what sense of authority and knowledge that the teacher comes from before they can fully appreciate the power of their words. With this lesson in mind, one can start to really begin to learn what's before them rather than simply memorize and repeat. The lessons here are life lessons meant to guide you behind these walls.

Since coming to Baylor, I have grown drastically in my faith and have built a much closer relationship with Christ. Community plays a huge role in the lives of students at Baylor. It provides a cooperative spirit emphasizing the importance of unity in a student body to work together to succeed as a whole. Students at Baylor are privileged to live and go to school in a community that demonstrates the body of Christ and the church. Also, since attending Baylor, I have become more independent and responsible and have grown as an individual. I have discovered my passion for psychology and children and wish to pursue my education at Baylor.

There are learning experiences that people get that they may not necessarily get when they are at home. I thought of myself as a very independent person when I was still living with my mom. After I moved out and got my own apartment, I realized that there are a lot more things that my mom had to deal with than just making a rent payment. Time management has become a very important aspect of my life. I have to manage my time and distribute it among my friends, work, and school. Classes have given me a large network of people that I may not have otherwise known. I have met people from all over the country and from other countries as well. I feel like college has gotten me one step closer to being ready to step out into the "real world".

When I first started college I was sure that I would be a psychologist and I felt like I had so many options on what type of psychologist I could be and the then I came to college. Coming to college has shown me that there are so many other options . My world has opened up because now I can see that all my goals are attainable. I love learning and college has shown me that learning is very rewarding.

I have grown so much as a person since going to Baylor. I feel that this university has helped me grow so much and I have learned so much. I've made mistakes but I've learned from them. I've met some of the greatest people here; from professors and staff to students. This university has made me a fighter. When you get knocked down by grades or whatnot one must get back up and fight the fight to get where they want to be in this life. We only get one shot and Baylor has taught me that through persistence and perseverance you can accomplish anything. I've gotten alot out of this university personally. I grew and have become a very strong person who is so determind for the best in my life. I will forever be greatful to this university and the people who have shaped my life and who I have become today.

I've learned the importance of being independent while also learning to utilize the tools that are all around me. It is important to understand that I am responsible for my own success or failure and that if I want to succeed, I have to make that happen. At the same time however, I have learned that there are dozens of people in the world who are willing to help me make the most of my life. As long as I am willing to utilize their help, I can take positive steps towards improving my life.

I only attended Boise State University for one semester and only too one class in winter semester in 2007. I am going back for fall 2011. I learned that takin notes is very important. Some of the professors took material from their own lectures and presentation for quizzes and assignments as well as information from the text book. While I attended it helped with my listening skills. I am now able to listen asn retain more information better because of it.

My college life so far has been irreplacable. From the knowledge that I have learned to the friendships that I have made, I think all my experiences so far have been very positive. Even through all of the academic struggles that I've faced, I believe that with all the knowledge I have gained, the work has been worth it. The overall friendly environment allows any personality to fit in, and because of that there is much diversity among my friends. I love having the college experience at Baylor University.

The most valuable thing I have extracted from my time in college is the fact that I had no idea who I was. I was raised with my parent's beliefs and their outlook on life, and I never realized that it defined who I was my whole life. College has let me explore my own personal beliefs and has let me voice my own opinions rather than the opinions I grew up with. College helped me find myself.

Throughout my college experience, I have gained the knowledge that can only be gained through experience. Of course I learned important, educational knowledge that I could only attain from going to that early bird 8am class, but I learned other things as well. I learned that being at such a large institution, we consume many resources and energy that we cannot replace or renew. At Baylor University we have taken into account all the resources that we consume and use and simply use less to help others throughout the world. Some other experiences that I have also learned from is that you should never wear heels to class, don't feed these crazy eyed squirrels and you don't have to eat the food in the cafeteria until you pop (I promise, you'll regret it in a few hours). College is hard and it is a challege, but it is the best thing that I could have ever done in my life. I know that in the future, I will know that I did the right thing by choosing to go to college. Until then my life plans are: study, work, sleep and repeat.

The experience at Baylor is eye opening in many ways. One being that you are truly on your own when you got to college. Baylor has taught me to be an independent person. You learn to manage social time and study time. Being on your own makes you realize if you do not have a job you can not buy anything. In college you have to take what you are given. I have also learned from my experience not to lose myself. Being a black male student at Baylor can take some adjusting when you look around in classes of 100-200 - people consist of 4 or maybe 5 black students. But the thing about Baylor not every person is the same. I have learned you cannot judge people by appearence, some people I would've never thought to be my friend are my best friends. The most vaulable thing I have learned from Baylor is to not take for granted what you have and what you have been given. That being said the college experience has changed my life for the better. Hopefully I can continue my education here at Baylor.

Religion. Maturity. Friends. Freedom. These words describe a few of the things that I gained by attending Baylor. And yet, they hardly do justice to the experience I have undergone as a college student. I have chosen to increase my knowledge and my education at the same time. Which is great; oftentimes, one lets his college "knowledge" interfere with his education, which, as the great Winston Churchill reminded us, is not a good path to follow. I believe that one must choose the college they want to attended with care and thought; otherwise, one may end up in a place where he is unable to learn or live comfortably. Fortunately, I made the right decision by coming to Baylor. Baylor instills values into its students and professors, and any visitors to the university can tell this immediately. I have learned how to balance religion and education in my life, and how to integrate them into my future. I have learned how to work in groups, an essential skill needed to succeed in the business world. Finally, I have learned how to be me. College opened the doors to so many future paths, and I still have years before I graduate.

In the three years that I have attended Baylor University, i have made some lifelong friends, learned the best ways to study for exams that will help me to remember the information much longer than simply memorizing and draining it days after an exam. I feel like a valued member of the Baylor community and am so thankful for the opportunities that the University is and will continue to provide for me.

I have grown up a lot since I have been at college and the learning enviornment around me has really helped to nourish that growth. There is a strong christian influence at this school and I have loved all of the faculty and students I have met here. I feel like I belong to this school and I am apart of a community, which helps encourage me to do well in my studies. I have always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a kid. And I am just glad that I get to learn from one of the best nursing schools in the state. Baylor is an excellent school and everyone should at least take a good look at it when they are considering which college to attend!

Being in an educational atmosphere is my ideal environment and always has been; with the ever changing and ever flowing range of ideas on the proverbial battlefeild, I see it as the riches form of intellectual nourishment possible. I can not only see the world in a brighter, more probing light, but I can see myself clearer than when I was not challenged by presented issues and when I, because of this, did not need to demand more of my own mind. It is true that, in my own way, I searched for ways to broaden my gaze, but, without reciprocating provocation, my efforts were for not. I find that as you go through life, you encounter many things, all which you may learn from, but few experiences or relationships can give you as much to show for your efforts and accomplishments as a true educational institution and the rapport one may build with those who make the functioning work of art proficient and contagious.

I have learned so much about myself and so much about other people. I have learned to be a servant and look to the best of others and their needs and at the same time learn the things that I need and not be afraid to get help in order to attain those things. I have learned that there are so many types of different people but that our differences make life so much more fun and interesting. My life has been enriched by getting to experience so many different classes and subjects. My mind has been stretched and filled and I know that every day it will continue to be changed even more. I will never be the same after I complete college and I know that I will be socially, culturally, and sprititually better for all the experiences that I have had.
