Taylor is a great place to learn. Taylor makes sure you have knowledge in a broad spectrum of subjects while still focusing on your own major. Professors are great. Most of them are very willing to help you outside of class and help you do well. I have even been invited over to various professors' houses for fun or for discussions. They all want to see you do your best. I feel like the professors really care about each of their students and their subjects. Also most professors try to vary the class room so that people with different learning styles can do well. An example of this is my music theory classes. We have three classes a week in the classroom listening to examples and learning the written theory. Two days a week we have class in the piano lab where we get to do the theory. It helps us have a complete understanding of the topic. A lot of classes are like this.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Taylor has been great for me. Despite its location in the middle-of-no-where, there is still a lot for students to do. Taylor tries hard to provide a lot of different activities for students and they usually do a good job. Also the people at Taylor tend to like to do a lot of random things and not-so-random things for fun. It's not unusual to have someone run down the hall asking if anyone wants to go play ultimate Frisbee or volleyball. There are also a lot of traditions at Taylor that can be tons of fun. Some of them are a little odd but it's all a great part of the Taylor experience. Also the dorms are great. They each have their own personalities and activities. Once you find your fit it's a lot of fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Taylor is pretty expensive, but, hey, it's a private school, so that's what you should be expecting. To make Taylor worth the money you have to try hard and put yourself out there. Do as best you can in your classes and get involved. Once you have made friends and are doing things you love Taylor is worth what you pay for it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you get the chance to visit the campus try to visit each of the dorms, or at least talk to someone from each. Each dorm has a different personality and if you can get into the right dorm from the start Taylor's great. Also get in touch with professors from your intended major. They are more than willing to get you the extra information you might want. Also it helps you get connected in the department early which will make things easier for you if you do attend Taylor.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Taylor is great for people who know how to work hard and concentrate on school work while still having fun and making friends. The Christian environment is also really great, so if you like a place where people openly talk about their beliefs and are willing to discuss them then this place is for you. It's a really supportive campus where you can grow in your faith, knowledge, and as a person.
