Chartered in 1845, Baylor University is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. As a private Baptist institution, Baylor emphasizes student involvement in community service and volunteerism, serving as home to the first campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Baylor keeps the tradition of service alive with programs like Steppin’ Out, Project Bookworm, and more.
Over 330 student clubs and organizations, including 40 national and local sororities and fraternities, contribute to a vibrant campus life at Baylor University. The Baylor Bears athletic teams participate in 19 varsity sports in NCAA Division I of the Big 12 Conference, providing ample opportunities to show your green and gold with pride.
Baylor boasts a picturesque 1,000-acre campus nestled alongside the Brazos River, where students and faculty can work or study in a peaceful environment. A bevy of apartments, condos, and lofts are available for rent within walking distance of campus. Many of Waco’s premium attractions are within walking distance of campus as well, such as the Dr. Pepper Museum, Spice Village, and Magnolia Market at the Silos. Destinations like Dallas and Austin are each less than a two-hour drive on I-35 from Baylor too.
