Junior year is super busy and sometimes challenging for your student--but we don’t have to tell you that!  Classes are demanding AND the ramp-up for college admissions begins in earnest. Your student is getting more independent, juggling expectations, homework, friends, youth group and maybe even a part-time job.  You might see them burning the candle at both ends and it’s no secret that you sometimes worry.  But remember, behind every good student is… a good parent! 

While you can’t make good grades for your student, you can talk with them about what they are looking for in a college.  Close to home or far away?  Committed faculty who care about students?  A wide variety of academic majors?  Free access to all athletic events?  Faith-filled guidance?  Rich school traditions?  Great food in the dining facilities?  Academic support and career counseling and placement?  A gorgeous campus? You just described Baylor University!  Here are a few ways that you can learn more about us:
