    My number 1 pick paid off. Although BU is one of the more expensive universities, the investment is priceless. The freshman line camp preceding 2nd semester sorority/fraternity, allows students a wider range of student relationships. Thank you Baylor University for committed faculty and forever friendships.

    Tina Wissner strongly recommends the school.
