Thanks double d. IYO, how overwhelming is the Baptist thing for a non-southern, other-religion female student?

It's not that overwhelming.

If you want it to be then you can attend all the out of class church stuff, but I'm not religious at all and could care less about religion as a whole and had a great four-year experience at Baylor.

I don't think it is overwhelming at all. Chapel is more of a general type worship/morality type thing; lots of musical acts and performances. I watched it on line a few times (they sent a link to the live broadcast to the parents network) and it was actually pretty good. We are Catholic and my daughter said they never push Baptist on you. The religion classes she took were more history of world religion type things.

My wife is a Baylor grad (2014). She was raised Catholic, went in being very religious, and is now a borderline atheist. Does that give you some idea?

She loves Baylor btw and highly recommends it. I'll get some notes and then post them here.

- She was a Political Science Major
- AD PI sorority girl, she says sororities are hugely popular there
- Studied a lot in college, graduated with a near perfect GPA
- Received a full scholarship to Loyola Law School in NOLA (which she walked out on quickly after realizing it really wasn't for her)
- Parents paid A LOT of money in tuition, fees, and what not (they could have bought her one of those newly renovated houses)
- She loves the school and is a proud alum
- Waco is a dump, but the campus is a beacon of light
- Like most things, the experience will be what you make of it
