re: Co-worker's daughter is considering Baylor for undergrad

Lots of very wealthy Baptist kids who like to get wild after getting out of the parent's home for the first time. If she is a sorority girl type and is into the social aspect, she will be fine. Lots of rich Texas oil money kids go there.

SMU- rich and dumb. You do know that SMU is rated higher as a university than TCU or Baylor. I never got the hate for SMU- unless jealous of the money.

You have to look at the ratings for the area of study you intend to pursue. I've always found a university wide rating to be a little misleading. Baylor pre-med is highly rated and med school is top 15. Other areas are rated far less. I would never have sent my daughter there to get a degree in education or liberal arts at that tuition rate.

Baylor threads always attract a ton of haters.

I wasn't trying to claim is was "top notch," just stating that people love to hate the place.

In all seriousness, Baylor is not a safe place for women these days.

And I'm just stating that would happen to every single school this thread could have been started about. This isn't exclusive to Baylor.

First rule, don't ever ask an A&M grad(or student) about higher education. For the same reason you don't ask a midget about dunking a basketball. It's rude and they won't have any experience or insight. A&M is an indoctrination factory where they focus on rote memorization, brainwashing, and reinforcing group think to the degree that critical analysis is eliminated and the subjects become drones. A&M grads tend not to leave Texas, don't attend graduate schools(esp outside of Texas) and aren't in the top medical or law programs even in Texas. Ex: the A&M regents bought a law school, managed it so poorly that the students quit applying and had to shut it down.
If A&M(and even UT) were such great 'deals' from a price standpoint, why are over 35k students opting to pay the prices of TCU, SMU, Baylor?
For the same reason you don't like standing in line to renew your drivers license. If you simply want a college degree and it's not a competitive field and you want the diploma on the wall without a big challenge, then go stand in line at the DMV/get a state university education.
But if it's a competitive field or grad school, attending a state university at least in Texas, is sort of like leaving it to chance.
Anyone that suggests all diplomas are created equally, probably doesn't know much about how others earn diplomas.
I'm sure the Ags here can tell us that the College Station experience is second only to Harvard. But I'll let them tell you that.

Baylor is a great school and have great people there.
Not the broadest horizons so if your conservative it would be a "safe" place for your kid. The friends I had that worked there are/were GREAT people.
