College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from Baylor University Students

Read samples from the Baylor University guide below:

Academics

“Most of the teachers I’ve had are very friendly and willing to help students. They are able to connect to students on a personal level. A few have been unwilling to compromise or empathize with the students.”

Diversity

“The campus is not diverse at all, with the dominant race being white. Groups of minorities do exist, and they are small in numbers.”

Guys & Girls

“Most people down here are pretty nice, hospitable types. Since it’s a private school and expensive, you get a lot of daddy’s girl types. There is an incredibly disproportionate ratio of girls to guys here.”

Athletics

This isn’t a rah-rah school, and if I’m going to gauge the sport interest from one to ten (ten being a fanatic fan base), I’d say the campus interest level is about a six.”

Academics

When it comes to academics, the old cliché, “You get what you pay for,” most encompasses Baylor’s mentality. The biggest complaint from students working toward a Bachelor of Science is that they feel like there’s too much emphasis placed on research, and for the most part, everyone feels that the teaching assistants are completely useless. In the Bachelor’s of Arts program, you know your professors are doing some kind of research since it’s a publish or perish world, but good luck actually catching one in...

Diversity

Baylor is not known for its religious or racial diversity. That’s not to say there isn’t any, but what is there is definitely limited. This can be a huge drawback if you come here looking for a lot of diversity, but if you come here looking to meet some really nice people, then this is your place. It’s a small, privileged, private school, and what it lacks in diversity it makes up for in character.

It’s easy to find a niche here. Within a year, you’ll recognize about half the campus. Within three, you’ve...

Guys & Girls

To a lot of people, Baylor and Waco are a complete anomaly. The same girls that run in the social hookup circles on Friday night are taking you to church with them on Sunday. The guys practice the requisite Christian business principles, but blow through the Baylor babes that are in endless supply. That’s not to say they’ll never grow-up, but this is a general picture. The school is known for having an abnormal amount of attractive people, especially women. In terms of sexual promiscuity, keep one thing in...

Athletics

Collegiate athletics in Texas are huge—period. Football is the reigning king of the South; everyone knows someone who went on to play professional ball, completing the two degrees of separation that Baylor is famous for. Competing for a close second in popularity are basketball and baseball. When home games roll around, especially if Baylor is playing a rival school (pretty much anyone), the stands are packed. It’s easy to get to the stadiums and arenas even if you don’t own a car, because chances are one...
