Our Son chose Baylor, it had very little, if anything to do with its Religous affiliation. Did you know that 50,000 HS Seniors last year applied to SDSU! We could have sent our son to many public U’s in CA, but for almost the same cost are sending him to a private school in TX. Baylor has a great reputation, 13k undergrads, beautiful campus, etc. My wifes side of the family also owns land north of Waco, Kerens, TX, farmland, and lakefront property. Our daughter, HS junior, is planning on going to either Baylor or TCU for a nursing degree. We also plan to relocate to TX when the time is right, I think it is a better place overall for college grads to start their careers.
