Founded in 1845, it is the oldest university in Texas still operating under its original name, the oldest in Texas is Southwestern. Founded on Southern Baptist ideals, it has developed into a Doctoral granting institution consistently ranked as one of America's top 100 universities.It is one of the last institutions of Higher Learning in the World that still holds that both Faith and Knowledge can go hand in hand.
There are many sons and daughters of the wealthy, but Baylor's generosity in financial aid has balanced the student population into a more diverse institution economically and racially. Recently, Baylor has gone through a period of rapid expansion and is making great strides to become a Tier 1 University. It hat also managed to have great success with athletics (barring Football). All of this without compromising the core integrity if its Christian values.
Many argue that Waco is the worst college town in the Big 12 conference, and there is more to substantiate that than not. However, many students who attend Baylor choose to define themselves and their college experience as greater than a drunken stooper. I personally have seen the Baylor students take the initiative to help and love the Waco population more so than I have seen anywhere else.
So, if you define yourself as a Temperate, loving person who would rather take a weekend to take care of the poor rather than get wasted at a party, then come to Baylor.

Get the Baylor University mug.When a male Baylor student acts, looks, and talks gay, but for some reason isn't (or is questionable). A large portion of the male students at Baylor are Baylor Gay, making Baylor quite the confusing place for a gaydar.
-Hey, is Johnny gay?
-I dont know, I think he is, but he is really conservative and christian.
-Then he is Baylor Gay
-Oh, that makes sense

For beginners, performing a "grand plie" over the whorish womans face and\or mouth and dunking the balls into her mouth and not excluding her face and nose. For advanced dancers executing a "saute" into a "grand plie" is recommended. Note: Hold Shaft of penis because if not, you will be executing something know as a ballarina war helmet.

Get the Baylor mug.When a group of San Franciscans get together to congratulate themselves on how proud they are to live in the best place on Earth. Bayarrhea often occurs when people need reassurance of their decision to live in the Bay Area, as most people (at least before the Internet boom) did not move there for work, but rather just because of the appealing lifestyle.
Bayarrhea can be illustrated through the following converstion: "Isn't it great that we live in the Bay Area?" "Yes, it is, isn't it? Look at the sun setting over the fog-enveloped bridge." "Look at Mt. Tam!" "Look at that multi-racial lesbian couple doing tai-chi!" "Look at those guys in assless chaps!" "Yes, it's all so wonderful, I can barely drink my Fair-Trade soy latte with shavings of sustainably grown chocolate mejicano without crying!"
