Wow this comment was so kind ! ❤️ I really hope you enjoy your experience at the tour when you come ! They have definitely become significantly more lenient with the regulations but the leftover ones are definitely pointless at this point haha. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate your support ❤️

getting better everyday 🕺🏿😭

Congrats on getting into Baylor !! And good question ! I LOVEEE heat, like I thrive in it !! So coming from CA to TX wasn’t TOO dramatic of a change, except I have never dealt with humidity before 😭 so that was an adjustment. Other than that, yes it does get hot here in the summer... not like ARIZONA HOT haha but pretty close ! Be prepared for sticky weather... but to me, what makes it all worth it is that the NIGHTS are such a nice warm temperature when it “cools down” 😍! So yes I would be aware of those things ! Thank you so much for watching ❤️

@@HaikaRose omg no humid weather and i don’t go well. anything for a good education though! thanks for the reply Haika! 😊😊 oh also another SUUUUPER important question, ive applied for financial aid now that i got in and know that it won’t hinder with my admissions decision. my financial need is a little… well… big. i need at least 50% financial support from baylor. so i was thinking, is there a possibility that they could rescind their offer after seeing this requirement, in case they aren’t able to fund me that much?

@@riddhigupta5155 this is a good question that I wish I could give a good answer to but I’m not entirely sure !! I did everything I could to appeal their original scholarship offer they gave me and it worked to an extent haha 😭 I would try to appeal if they don’t give you enough, but if they are unable to, I wouldn’t think they would rescind their original offer. However your best bet is to keep in touch with the financial aid office and asking them these questions by emailing or calling them ! I hope this helps !! ❤️❤️

@@HaikaRose thank you so much luv 🥰🥰🥰

I have never been asked this before haha ! That’s very kind for you to ask for my permission! You can if you’d like, I look forward to see what inputs you add !

@@HaikaRose Haha I figured!! I’ll definitely credit you if I follow through! Thanks 😊

much love 🥰

This was a very insightful comment, thank you for sharing this and thank you for listening! And yes I do plan to read that article VERY soon 😁! I’m glad we can agree on the performative nature of the policies, as it doesn’t help ANYONE involved and is therefore extremely ineffective across the entirety of this campus! I appreciate your comment! May God bless you!

I’m guessing when you said “mandatory vaccinations” you meant “mandatory testing” but while I can understand the logic of protecting the immunocompromised who were unable to be vaccinated.... *I know how insensitive this may sound but hear me out* ... for those who are at a high risk, wouldn’t it be in their best interest to choose the “online option” experience to begin with? That it would be their personal responsibility to do what’s best for them to keep them safe instead of being placed in an environment they deem unsafe? Why should the responsibility of a smaller group (who have made a choice) lie at the hands of a larger group who have also made a choice. Doesn’t everyone have a choice that aligns with their best interest in the matter.. and therefore you accept the risks that go with it? It’s a bit unproductive to mandate a policy for the masses for a significantly smaller group, when they make the choice to come here, and are granted the individual responsibility to do what’s best for them. This is not me saying I don’t want them here or that they shouldn’t be here. But the personal choice they make shouldn’t be at the expense of others when they made that choice to begin with. When it comes to health and medical decisions, it has always been that we each have the individual responsibility to do what’s best for ourselves, that the responsibility lies on the individual, not the unknown people around them. I don’t understand why things would be different here. Which is why I believe the mandates should have never lasted as long as they did (especially when they started to become inconsistent and lenient because then it REALLY didn’t make any sense). But again I do plan on reading that article ! Im hoping my question will be answered there as well :)) !!

@@HaikaRose yes that’s what i meant lol.. sorry i’m scatter-brained and fully focused on spring break. But yes, online instruction would have been the best option for immunocompromised, however Baylor is no longer offering that option to any students for at least 75% of classes taught (that’s not an official number, just an estimate). The University required all students to return back to campus for in-class instruction. That’s why the “quarantine policy” is stupid. Those students were robbed of their choice for their own best interests. Because they are the minority, Baylor is forcing them to put their own health at risk, for the good of the majority. So how is that any more fair? I understand being frustrated with having to test, because I felt it initially with having to wear masks being that I am fully vaccinated and boostered (that’s not a word but that’s the verb I’m going with), but when I spoke to my own friends who are actually in the minority of being too compromised to be vaccinated but also not being able to receive their education in a safe environment, I understood why they were asking for some sort of support from the University. You should definitely read the article though because Madi Snow does a great job in advocating by using the experiences of others and breaking down the policies that Baylor has failed so miserably to provide support through.

Okay wow that’s good to know about the “online option” ! Thank you once again for your insight on this whole thing ! And for being so respectful about it as well, that’s hard to come across these days, but I’ll definitely check that article out ! May God bless you once again ❤️!
