When I first visited, I had a great experience... years later - it was undoubtedly 4 of the best…read moreyears of my life. For me, the more I put in, the more I got out. It's a small school in rural Indiana, that competes quite well with big schools in big cities. The faculty truly cares about the success of students and being a student is a ton of fun and hard work. Enough about my feelings, what was I looking for when I was in high school? Are my test scores good enough? - Taylor's competitive to get into. My scores weren't as high as my peers', but my admission letter contributed a lot of value. What's the job placement like? - I keep up regularly with classmates. Some of the companies/grad schools they are at include: Google, Microsoft, Ernst & Young, McKinsey Consulting, Amazon, Accenture, Edward Jones, Chase Bank, Pixar, Sentry Data Systems, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon, Red Hat, Intel, GE, Chic Fil A, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and Mayo Clinic. - Elementary Ed is very strong - Some classmates didn't want to go into the industry and taught english overseas, joined the peace corps, went on for an Masters of Div, etc. - Some classmates started their own companies in San Fran and are doing really well No alcohol? Strict rules? - We made our own fun. - Sometimes having rules makes it more fun ;D Why does everybody talk about 'community'? - I work in Chicago, so I experience the "headphones-in avoid others mentality" every single day. Taylor is the opposite. - Invert high school: in high school, differences result in being outcasted. While I was at Taylor, my differences seemed to make me more interesting to others. Is Chapel mandatory? - No, I missed chapel sometimes because I had committed to so many campus events, but when I went I found Chapel worship to be incredible. How can I afford this? - Use fafsa, student loans - Apply for scholarships - Pray (originally I said this jokingly, but seriously, pray about it) How hard is it? - Some majors are harder than others, its like taking 3-4 AP classes a semester - Classmates I saw in study rooms more than others: Engineering, Physics, Math, Comp Sci, Comp Eng, Chem, Bio, Pre-Med, Finance, Accounting, Elementary Ed What are the semesters like? - I think the max credit hour load is 17... that was when I was there though. - Most classes are 3-4 credit hours. - Classes with 5 credit hours typically involve a lab session. - Classes 1-2 hours are typically seminar or capstone classes. - Minimum is 12 hours to be on campus full time. What are "gen-eds"? - Everybody has to take a core set of classes - Some art, english, math/foreign language depending on if you go BA or BS - Religion classes - to this day I look back on my notes from Historic and Contemporary Christian Belief Can I study abroad? - Yes. - You will need to pay for tickets to go there and back. - A few I knew best were a semester in Ireland, j-term in greece/italy, j-term in China Where to go for fun? - Lots of campus events: Nostalgia Night, My Gen Night, Airband, Taylathon, Ice Cream Socials, Holipalooza, SIlent Night, Outdoor movie fests - Muncie or Marion (half hour) - Indy (hour) Greek life? - Wings and Floors have deep rooted traditions and subcultures - Some healthy loyalty and rivalry exists between these groups - Examples include: foundation, SIIS, broho, penthouse, 2nd west, 3rd east, 3rd center, Foso, bhone Tips: - Save all your work, I reference my old work from college often - Try before you buy, go for an "overnight" stay. I did this and loved it.
