If you're looking for an easy school where you won't be pushed academically by your professors or lag about in your spiritual life, then pick another school! Taylor has challenged me in so many ways, both mentally and spiritually. This is coming from a student who had all A's in high school and didn't study a day in her life! It's been such a blessing to have professors who genuinely care about how I am doing and push me to do my best. The concept of integrating faith and learning into our education is a concept that is held in high regard here at Taylor. Students learn to master their studies while learning how to apply their faith to their field. I have really enjoyed learning about how my Christian faith will impact my career and my relationships in the future.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Though Taylor is an institution that pushes for academic excellence, there is also a strong emphasis on community. I have made many solid friendships with both men and women on campus. It is so encouraging to live among people who hold the same standards, beliefs and morals as myself. They have kept me accountable and encouraged exponential growth in my faith. My relationships here at Taylor are truly the deepest human relationships I have ever had.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A discouraging aspect about Taylor is how expensive it is. However, I feel my time here has been worth every penny. I truly love the community I live in as well as my major classes. If I had to go back to senior year of high school, I would pick Taylor every single time.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One of the best tips to pick up on quickly is to talk to students when you visit. Find out about daily life at the school. What is the typical life of living in ---- Hall? What types of clubs and organizations can I get involved with? Are classes hard? What's your favorite thing about Taylor? What's your least favorite thing about Taylor? Don't be afraid to ask questions! People will gladly open up to you about living at Taylor.
My second tip is this: don't be afraid to talk to professors about a major you are interested in. Be sure to get as much information as you can about the major before you decide on it! Acknowledge there will be parts about every major that you will like and you will dislike.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Taylor is an excellent school for Christian students looking to push themselves academically and spiritually.
No matter your walk of life, there is something for everyone at Taylor. It's not a bunch of rich 'perfect' Christian people. They are people like you who make mistakes and are trying to have the best college experience they can!
