I lived in a residential college on campus for my first three years. I shared a dorm room with another girl, and we had a shared bathroom with another room. My senior year, I moved off-campus and into an apartment.

Combination of Academics and scholarships. Baylor had a good honours college with a flexible degree program, it was a faith-based school, and they basically paid me to go there. The residential college community was also good.

I live on campus currently in Heritage House, which is one of the most recently renovated houses so it's pretty nice. I'm on the fourth floor so the kitchen is right across from me, and there's laundry on every floor. I plan to move into a nearby apartment complex this coming year because it's more affordable than on-campus housing.

The programs offered are extraordinary, the community is tight yet still has that larger school atmosphere, it's just far enough from home to feel independent yet not unreachable in case of an emergency, and the value is good considering scholarships and financial aid.
