<p>Hey guys I have two more questions about Baylor Unversity. Firstly, while I am planning on visiting Baylor over spring break, I am curious how the campus compares to Rice’s in terms of how “pretty” the buildings/classrooms are and that sort of thing. Additionally, I was wandering how competitive their Baylor Summer Research Program for seniors is to get into and also how prestigious it is.</p>
<p>Thanks so much,
Robbie</p>
<p>I know many people who went there and have the following comments:</p>
<ul>
<li>the campus is very nice. You forget you are in Waco, Texas (well, for awhile). </li>
<li>major improvements over the past 20 years -- new student center, basketball arena, etc.</li>
<li>Waco is only slightly less humid than Houston</li>
<li>the summer research program is likely not wildly competitive. Rice has more of a national reputation. </li>
<li>Baylor's business undergrad degree is very very good from what I hear -- partic strong in banking, accounting, etc.</li>
<li>Baylor's pre-law program is also very good. they used to have a 3+3 program where you attended the undergrad for 3 years and rolled into law school your senior year if admitted. Baylor's law school is the top trial law program in the United States.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other comments:</p>
<ul>
<li>the kids are very nice</li>
<li>no nerds like at Rice (nerd city)</li>
<li>the entire town revolves around the school (not so in Houston)</li>
<li>the girls are outrageously gorgeous and nice (even Univ of Texas' star QB dates one)</li>
</ul>
<p>there you have it. all the most important stuff.</p>
