<p>I just finished my first semester at Baylor, and I’m not Christian, let alone Baptist. Baylor requires each student to take two semesters of Chapel as well as religion classes (Christian Scriptures and Christian Heritage). Honestly, although these are required, it’s not bad at all. It took a little to adjust to worship days in Chapel (Wednesdays) because everyone stands and tends to sing along, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. At Baylor, you will meet a lot of religious people, but never have I ever felt that they were trying to force their beliefs on me. Baylor’s Baptist affiliation does not change what it can offer. It’s a great school with small class sizes and professors who are willing to go the extra mile for their students. Yes, the religion thing may be overwhelming for some, but there’s more that defines a person than their religious affiliation. I’ve met such great people here, and I can’t picture myself at any other school. You just have to find your niche!!</p>
