Even though those looking for trouble can and will find it anywhere, Baylor is one of the only places outside of a church where I have encountered positive pier pressure (pressure to do the RIGHT thing)
It is my belief that the years between 18 and 25 are the most important to determining your character as an adult. Send them to a ivy league liberal arts college or a “party school” and when they get out (if they even graduate).. you wont even recognize them or what they have become.
Plus, the chance of meeting your future spouse in college is relatively high, and Baylor is overflowing with top notch potential husband and wives from good conservative Christian families.
I love it more every time I visit there. Thanks for the encouragement. :)
“It is my belief that the years between 18 and 25 are the most important to determining your character as an adult.”
I disagree. I think character is formed at a much younger age.
“Send them to a ivy league liberal arts college or a ‘party school’ and when they get out (if they even graduate).. you wont even recognize them or what they have become.”
Again, I disagree. My son is nearing the halfway point through an Ivy League and is probably more conservative than the day he left home. By the way, the graduation rate at the Ivy League schools is somewhere in the high 90s%.
Like I said, character is formed by the time they leave high school.
There are some decent schools on this list (and I agree that Baylor should be on it, and might well be the star of the list if it were on it), but this list has more than one lacuna.
As well, this list is a tacit admission that we have ceded the heights of our culture to the barbarians, at least in the field of education, and further, we have no hope of recapturing those lost territories.
The first point is undeniably true - we HAVE ceded the heights of our culture to the barbarians. I'm unwilling to concede on the second point.
