This is a weird question, but with baylor being the catholic school that it is, how do students cope with intimacy and those types of interactions? The dorms seem pretty restrictive and segregated by gender, so what is the sentiment like on this kind of activity on campus and what can a student expect? Where, when, and how, basically
Baylor is Baptist, not Catholic. If your’re worried about where/when you can have sex with your partner, it’s probably not the place for you.
@Muad_dib, are you suggesting that Baylor students don’t have sex? Sounds like a reasonable and mature question to me. I know nothing about Baylor. What percent of the student body is Baptist?
@ChezCurie Baylor has a no sex outside of marriage policy for students, faculty, and staff. I agree with @Muad_dib 's conclusion that if you’re wondering where and how to have sex, Baylor is not the place for you.

“The University affirms the biblical understanding of sexuality as a gift from God. Christian churches across the ages and around the world have affirmed purity in singleness and fidelity in marriage between a man and a woman as the biblical norm. Temptations to deviate from this norm include both heterosexual sex outside of marriage and homosexual behavior. It is thus expected that Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching.”

“Sexual Conduct BU-PP 031 Policy: Baylor will be guided by the biblical understanding that human sexuality is a gift from God and that physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity. Thus, it is expected that Baylor students, faculty and staff will engage in behaviors consistent with this understanding of human sexuality.”
Wow! Where have I been? I had no idea! Thanks for asking, @lookingatuman and for your reply, @allyphoe. I learned something.
I am a Baylor parent, and while I (and my daughter) fully support the Baylor statement on sexuality, I would say that the reality is that a large portion of the student body would not, and while the values are upheld and encouraged, I do not see any evidence that the school tries to enforce them. I think the goal is to encourage the students to embrace the value system, not to be a parent forcing an external morality. They do a good job of hiring Christian (not necessarily Baptist) faculty, but do not require any belief system of their student body. On the whole, I think they do a very good job with this.
Your thinking that Baylor is a Catholic school tells me that you have done no research at all on the university. Go to the Baylor website and start clicking around.
baylor isn’t catholic.
