Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

Besides certain classees that EVERYONE takes, the class size is very small, even at the Freshman level. So you will get individualized attention if you need it. The University finds the best professors, every class I have had, the professor has been flexible, courteous, and extremely competent in getting the students to understand the material.
Ray from Belton, TX
It is not a walk in the park, but who wants to pay tuition for a blow-off class. I had a tough semester taking classes and practicing baseball, but I ended my Freshman year with a 3.5 GPA. The professors are tough, but willing to help any student that is willing to put in the effort.
Allen from Temple, TX
Honestly, I have never learned as much as have attending UMHB. I was blessed enough to be a part of the University Honors Program, and doing so I was able to meet students that hold themselves to a higher standard. My professors have been more than helpful. Whenever I had a problem or a question I could send them an email and within 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes any time of day I could get an answer to my questions. The professors here really do care about whether or not you understand the information. They're less concerned with grades and more interested in whether or not the students are prepared to succeed not only in their class but as a student at the University. I could ask any professor where to get help, and they were willing either to help me themselves or point me in the direction of a professor who could. They paid close individual attention to the way we think and how we process information, and every single one of my professors tried to relate to me on more than a student-to-teacher basis. They tried to bring me up to a higher level of academia and try to grow me as a student.

The feeling when you step into campus it feels like you are at home. The intense and adrenaline feeling when you watch the teams perform, always bringing their A game. To the great teaching techniques UMHB holds for their students future.
Carlos from Houston, TX

Casey from Temple, TX
The Professors are very educated and know exactly what they are teaching. I never leave class without learning something new.
Loren from Cedar Park, TX
The University of Mary-Hardin Baylor can be described as a tight knit community. There is a diverse range of people here with all sorts of backgrounds so making friends is very easy. The academics are excellent, the professors are all super helpful, and there is a wide range of student organizations and clubs to be involved in; thus making Mary Hardin-Baylor a unique university that you could call home.
Rhema from Fort Worth, TX
Attending the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor is greatest decision I have ever made. Everyone is nice and thoughtful, the professors actually care about you, plus a brand new football stadium makes it even better. My life has been so much better since I've started here at UMHB.
Ashli from Houston, TX
I have attended this college 2 years to date, and I love it! The campus is small enough where you don't feel lost or out of place, but big enough to where you still feel like you are part of an exclusive community. The staff on campus (teachers, faculty, etc.) are so friendly, and when accepted, I received LOTS of financial aid.
