Choosing Baylor over "more prestigious" schools

I turned down Carnegie Mellon, Rice and a full ride at the University of Denver to go to Baylor. I have yet to regret it (I’m a Junior, studying abroad in Istanbul next year). Baylor profs spend a lot of concentrated time with their undergrads and truly value them. Its honors programs offers a great deal of personalization and helpful advisers. There aren’t just liberal arts honors programs but also programs like Business Fellows that offer even more flexibility, but within the business school. Baylor bends over backwards for its students, and (from everything I’ve heard from my friends at “better” schools) that is very very difficult to find.

You are not making the wrong decision.
