Baylor

You might find Baylor to be more conservative than what you are looking for.

universalism is generally not an accpeptable belief there - I mean, as I understand it, the grading is fair, but you might find yourself a fish out of water, so to speak.

Don't worry man.
No fundyness at Baylor.

If you can afford to go then go. It's a good school.

woah, Baylor is an awesome school. definitely not ultra conservative to the point of communism like some Christian schools. I was planning to go there too, but now my folks want me to go to a closer one to home so i think i found a good one in my state.

As a Baylor graduate, I can agree with this statement.

I am a Baylor grad.

Here are some positives. It is the largest Baptist University in the world. It has a nice campus. A ton of major to choose from. It's respected academically.

Cons: It cost a crazy amount of money; pretty much twice as much as public schools. 75% of the student body is "Greek", that is to say they are in fraternities and sororities. Beware of the Baylor bubble. The Baylor bubble is basically a naive view of the world fostered by the fact that a lot of the people who go there have grown up with money and have had to face very little hardships in their lives due to that fact. At times it can be very high schoolish. That it to say that it can be difficult to get to know people after your freshmen year. By then a lot of people have their clicks and don't want to venture out anymore.

On a side note: I am a male, however, I have heard that it can be hard on a lot of girls who go to Baylor. Basically you have this thing called Baylor beauties, a titled well earned, becaue it seems like every girl there is extremely attractive, which can cause some real self-esteem problems for a lot of the female population. That's just what I've heard. I've heard that Baylor has more than its fare share of Anarexia and Balemia problems. A rumor supported by my Health Professor (female) there who admitted to being a student at Baylor and becoming Anarexic due to the pressure to be a Baylor Beautie.

If you do go to Baylor I recommend Highlands first baptist church. It's a bit to trendy but the Pastor is great. You might also want to try out "Church under the bridge", ask around and you can find out about that. Jimmy is the pastor there and he's just one of those guys who is going to recieve a huge amount of reward when he sees the Lord for all the ways he has advanced Chirst's kingdom.

Have you heard of Liberty University?
I heard that it is a really good christian college.

http://www.baylor.edu/Lariat/news.php?action=story&story=23290 I was reading that link in my search for fact about women at that college. It seems like they have come a long ways to treating women fairly. That is good.

Hillman also mentioned that while women "were required to take out their own trash" men "had maid service" and "did not have dorm hours."
