    1. How is Baylor University? (For pre-med, social activities, environment, honors program, academic rigor)

    2. Is it worth it if you get full scholarship to go there?

    first off I am lazy so I just pasted a few links for you vsttexas09... hope you get some good feedback and of course for me I don't assume you researched the Baylor main web pages addressing some of your questions...

    If you have already that is really all I can contribute :cool:

    A. For pre-med (no idea, did you see this link?)
    http://www.baylor.edu/prehealth/index.php?id=36406

    B. social activities
    http://emt.askadmissions.net/baylor/aeresults.aspx?did=2&cid=2444&quser=social+activities

    C. environment - this link really explains it best on the environment
    http://www.baylor.edu/visit/

    D. honors program
    http://www.baylor.edu/honorscollege/

    E. academic rigor
    http://www.baylor.edu/admissions/index.php?id=57140

    As far as is it worth it if you get full scholarship to go there question...

    No doubt, congrats on getting a full ride to a great central Texas school.

    So from Ivy League, to Georgetown to UT and now to Baylor? The only thing falling faster these days is the stock market.

    ;)

    I went to Baylor and it is was a good experience. From an undergraduate standpoint, all of it's academics are pretty well rated but it is what you make of it. I have two friends that made the best of their time there and both were admitted into Harvard Business straight out of undergrad, which happens rarely. If you have a full ride, take it. It has a good environment, small classes, unbelievable facilities, including the new 500,000 sf science center, and last but not least the most beautiful women on any campus in Texas. Best thing to do is go take a tour and schedule it on a weekend where you can go catch a baseball game.

    It certainly is. I could only tolerate the place for a year. A guy got his ass kicked in my dorm for being gay.

    I got called a godless heathen and got a bunch of dicks keyed into my car, so you'll have to forgive me if I don't hold a lot of love for the place. And Waco is an absolutely horrid town.

    If you are what you say you are, you can do a lot better than a full ride to Baylor.

    Baylor is one of the absolute best universities in central Texas. I'd really consider the opportunity.

    Yeah, well, here's to hoping whoever's keying your car keeps up the good work.

    No, because you think it's funny. And after crying about how only "a p***y would do that."

    I'm waiting for the "Is University of Phoenix Online Academically Rigorous?" thread.

    Loved the school.....didnt care too much for the people. I got along with them, but didnt appreciate the snooty attitude alot of them had. I mean, it is what you get being a very expensive private university. I loved the classes though!

    BU BEARS!!!

    Don't underestimate the levels of Jesus-crazy there. I did my time at a baptist school and it nearly drove me insane. Just so you know.
