<p>I read this post from start to finish and it seems to have a common thread. You can get along anywhere if you want to bad enough. But, why are you only looking at the “college” social life and not the community? Why aren’t you looking at the rank of academics and saying who cares what people think. For those of you that are younger, college is an opportunity to explore cultures and people different from you, as later in the job field, you will most definitely have to be culture acceptive. Just my opinion. I was looking hard at Baylor before I ever even heard of it being religious. I am looking at Baylor for their concurrent BBA/MaTxx. It is not even offered where I am. Good luck to everyone and keep an open mind.</p>
