Hey!

I’m a current baylor freshman guy (class of 2019) and would give you some advice on housing:

1. Brooks is a fantastic dorm for community and the Coed environment and lenient visiting hours are nice. However the two year contract is frustrating since housing is so expensive and most people want to move off campus after freshman year

2. Martin will be under renovation and I've heard good things about Penland next year--would probably be a good option

3. Brooks Flats is super expensive but very chill with a good mix of people and nice facilities

4. Everything in north village has huge rooms for relatively cheap prices, but the location isn't very good on campus unless your an engineering or fine arts major

5. North Russell has one of the friendliest atmospheres of any dorm i've been in on campus. If I were to do it all over again i would seriously look at living at North Russell, although personally I've loved living at Brooks College and met dozens of wonderful friends!

6. Teal kind of has a geeky atmosphere but tons of great people and it's location near the rec center, sciences building, and east village dining hall (my favorite dining hall) is fantastic

Hope you have as great a freshman year as I have!! Baylor is amazing!!! Sic em bears!
