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:
