Hey guys, I’m an incoming freshman and I’ve been assigned to Brooks College at Baylor University. However, when choosing it as my preference, I did not to think to look up the freshman ratio in the dorm. For my first year, I really want to get to know a lot of freshman, and now I’m worried that won’t experience that. Has anyone lived in Brooks College during their freshman year? And if so what was the experience as a freshman?
I lived in Brooks as a freshman last year and am returning this year! You have nothing to worry about as far as freshmen ratio–freshmen far outnumber upper classmen with sophomores the second highest percentage. Brooks isn’t perfect and the two year contract is definitely a drawback–however, I’ve found that Brooks helps freshmen develop friendships and get connected better than typical dorm situations.
