Of course, Baylor鈥檚 鈥渟mall鈥 size is a boon as well. If you鈥檙e fortunate enough to attend, you鈥檒l quickly discover that 鈥渢he administration, faculty, and staff are all very concerned with the student body.鈥 Indeed, 鈥渢hey don鈥檛 spend all day closed away in their offices, but have an open-door policy and welcome students to come in and ask questions, learn, and practice together.鈥
Students do warn that the classes at Baylor are 鈥渢ough鈥 and 鈥渄emanding.鈥 While the 鈥減rofessors are the nicest people in the world...in the classroom, they are the Judge [and] [t]hey treat you as if you are an attorney representing your client.鈥 One colorful student goes as far as saying, 鈥淏aylor Law is basically the beginning of Full Metal Jacket. A professor almost said verbatim, 鈥楲et me see your warface!鈥欌 Thankfully, the faculty maintains a 鈥渉ands-on鈥 approach and remains 鈥渋nvested in every single student.鈥 They never hesitate to 鈥済o out of their way to help out.鈥 And, most importantly, the law professors here actually 鈥渉ave personalities to boot!鈥
When it comes to employment, we鈥檙e told that 鈥渋t鈥檚 not hard [to get jobs] in Texas.鈥 After all, students boast that Baylor grads have the 鈥渉ighest鈥 bar passage rate in the state. Plus, the program has 鈥渁n excellent reputation.鈥 Students also have access to 鈥渁n outstanding alumni network鈥 as well as 鈥渁 career office that prepares you well and creates some great networking and job search opportunities.鈥 Nevertheless, a handful of students caution that 鈥測ou have to put the work in when it comes to internships and networking. Jobs won't just fall into your lap and they are very upfront about that.鈥

With regards to life outside the classroom, some students grumble that hometown Waco 鈥渋s excellent for studying and not much else.鈥 However, others counter that 鈥渇ood and entertainment [options]鈥 are slowly 鈥渄eveloping,鈥 thanks in part to HGTV鈥檚 Fixer Upper (which films in Waco). Of course, these future JDs are quite capable of making their own fun. As one student shares, 鈥淢y friends and I go to trivia night every week, participate in law school IM games, have our own game nights, and go out for a drink or two on the weekends.鈥 Plus, Baylor is 鈥渉alfway between Austin and Dallas, two major cities with lots of jobs鈥 and plenty of nightlife!
