mary hardin-baylor is an exceptional school with passionate teachers and wonderful students. the university and staff base their teachings on faith-based learning. umhb is a great environment to grow as a student and a constructive member of society.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
umhb is a great university to grow and learn. it is a private university that is faith-based in every aspect of the school. the teachers and students are extremely friendly and make you feel at home within the first week of coming to the university. i would suggest being financially prepared before coming here so you can focus on your studies instead of where the money will come from. the university is tough and you will spend many hours and long nights in the library but it is all worth it.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes at umhb are tough and push you to think differently but every class i have taken has prepared me to start my career and to become successful. the resources needed to succeed are there and are easily assessable from the librarians to help with a lengthy research paper to the free math clinics all offered at convenient hours.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food at the university of mary hardin-baylor is much like every other university. it's pretty much hit or miss. the cafe in the student center has great breakfast burritos and burgers and there is also a taco side with great chicken quesadillas but the menu is not very long so the food can get boring pretty quick. there is a dining hall but i've actually never ate there. i've heard that breakfast is pretty good there but lunch and dinner are not.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
fun things are always planned around campus life. every holiday is celebrated here and sports games are a big thing on campus. we have a great theater program that put on a couple of productions a year. there is also different nights celebrated like indian food night, pizza night, cru night. the campus life writes all the reminders on the sidewalks in front of all the main buildings so you won't miss a thing. it is not hard to jump in and join.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
umhb is expensive but compared to other private schools its relatively low. the scholarship office did a great job finding me everything they could and i ended up paying less than i would at a public university. also, the university offers just about everything. they have a gym on campus, a fantastic library, tons of computer rooms and a lot of campus life events that are totally free. also, the level of education i am receiving is worth every penny. i have not encountered a teacher that doesn't care and hasn't been willing to put in their all for me to succeed.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
one thing i appreciate that umhb has is little nooks in the library to study. they even provide bean bags to rest before a big midterm. i have taken plenty of naps on these.
cru life on campus is full of school spirit. most people wear school colors (purple and yellow) almost everyday and are proud to be a crusader
Which types of students will excel at your college?
umhb offers a wide variety of academic programs. this is a christian-based school so you are required to go to chapel and take religion courses. if you are already religious this is a great school to grow as a christian. i think this school would be great for any type of student but especially students who are wanting to go to a smaller school. you know the majority of the student body pretty fast thanks to the small number of students allowed in.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there is a club or activity for just about everything you would want to be involved in. there are clubs for nursing students, foreign language students, prospective teachers and many more academic programs. there are christian clubs to study the bible, fellowship and there is one that cooks dinner every wednesday for everyone to come and fellowship.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
since we are a private christian school we do not take part in greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
i have never felt unsafe at umhb. we have our own campus police that respond very quickly. a large number of students stay on campus so there are always other people walking around. the campus is also very well lit and parking lots are close to all of the buildings.
