I love the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor! The student life is great and there are a lot of opportunities to be involved on campus. I am majoring in Health Science, Pre-PA and the professors have been awesome and very interested in my development as a person. The athletics at this school are super fun and allow everyone to be involved. They create a sense of unity in the student body and as a student-athlete, the professors are very kind about traveling and offer a lot of flexibility in the classroom. As an athlete, I can confidently say the school values me and takes care of their athletes. Belton is super cute and growing more every day! The location is ver central and allows students to easily travel to bigger cities for the weekends to visit friends and experience some city life, without living in it. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Review University of Mary Hardin-Baylor

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, situated in the serene town of Belton, Texas, stands as a beacon of holistic education where students flourish both academically and spiritually. Recognized for its unwavering dedication to nurturing the whole individual, UMHB provides a transformative experience that fosters personal growth, intellectual curiosity, and a deepening connection with faith. Rooted in Christian values, the university offers a supportive community where students are encouraged to explore their beliefs, engage in meaningful discussions, and integrate faith into every aspect of their lives. Through a rich tapestry of academic programs, vibrant campus life, and service opportunities, UMHB empowers students to discover their purpose and live with intentionality. With a commitment to excellence, UMHB truly stands as a remarkable institution where students not only receive a quality education but also embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual enrichment.

First entering my first year at Mary-Hardin Baylor, I was extremely nervous. I was from a small town and the college was huge starting my first semester. During my first semester, I quickly learned that the university has that small-town-feel. Everybody knows each other and the staff want to know each and everyone of their students to help make their college experience better. Ultimately, the school is great but extremely costly. Tuition is over $40,000 a year but, in order to graduate you have to be in an internship.
