As diverse as Baylor’s offerings are, though, the academic makeup of the student body is not exactly the intellectual rainbow that the triple-digit number suggests. The palette is probably better described as dozens of thin strips with slightly different shades, sprinkled among a few very wide bands of dominant colors.

Before the Wright brothers took flight or air conditioning cooled a single building, The Baylor Lariat was already in print. Now, 125 years and roughly 12,250 issues later, Baylor’s student-run newspaper continues to tell the university’s story with the same curiosity and conviction that first inked its pages in 1900.

“We are actually the very last BFA-granting R1 fiber concentration here in the state of Texas,” Tina Linville said. “So if you are interested in studying fiber at the undergraduate level at an R1-level institution and getting a [bachelor of fine arts] in fiber, this is where you go.”

If you’ve looked everywhere and still can’t find your perfect match, the immediate instinct is to go on a dating app. Before you get swept off your feet, consider proceeding with caution.

Using social media as a virtual diary can make it easy to connect with long-distance friends and family, especially in college when the miles between us feel like a galaxy. But, living so publicly has very real repercussions that tend to be forgotten or downplayed.

These “trad” wives seen on social media are the exception, not the expectation.
