Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The average Taylor student is fairly reserved and, to some extent, a little awkward by standards of the outside world. Since Taylor exists in what amounts to a nearly-homogeneous bubble, the students generally fall under similar descriptors like, "conservative," "friendly," and "slightly eccentric."

The ratio of guys to girls is close to even, with the girls edging out the guys by a couple hundred or so. (Men: mathematically, this is called "good selection.") Though it might seem that this would lend itself to a campus filled with men and women pairing off perfectly, it really doesn't; a significant portion of the student body remains single for quite a while during their time at college, opting to develop deep, lasting friendships with the opposite sex rather than shallow, unhealthy romantic relationships. Furthermore, almost all relationships between guys and girls—romantic or otherwise—are extremely respectful. The men of Taylor University are often chivalrous and kind, regardless of their romantic interest. (Ladies, you very well might go four years without once needing to open a door to an academic building for yourself.)

Cultural, Fun, Casual

There are hundreds of students from many different countries, it is nice to meet people from different backrounds. There are many activities, but sometimes the students will create their own fun and they are very outgoing. The students are laid-back in a sense that just hanging out in the lobbies of the dorms can be fun. A well rounded group of students.

Dress

Really the only norms to be found are girls in white v-necks and sperrys, and men running around the campus in assorted halloween costumes with bravado. Everyone has their own style.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Some girls here are incredibly attractive, others have potential but don't dress well. Great if you like sweatpants, sweatshirts, and uggs. Guys tend to hang out with guys, girls with girls. Don't even think about walking anywhere with someone of the opposite sex, apparently that means you're dating.

Facts

Social Scene

People in the Midwest are generally friendly, and Taylor students are no exception. Most students are outgoing, honest, and genuinely care about being good friends. Most students can find fun things to do on campus; there are lots of clubs, events, and activities in which to get involved. A few popular off-campus hangouts are Payne's and Ivanhoe's, two locally-owned restaurants. There is usually a lot of interaction within wings, and each wing's PA (personnel assistant) will usually plan several wing events each month. Most wings have a "wing hookup," where a local family invites the students over for dessert or games. Brother/sister wings get together for several events each month, ranging from broomball tournaments to late-night dinners at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Hookups or Relationships?

Taylor stresses healthy friendships between opposite genders, and wing activities reflect this. "Pick-a-dates" are a way for guys and girls to hang out in a casual atmosphere without the pressure of a one-on-one date. Taylor has other dating traditions; for example, if a guy hits a girl with a Frisbee while playing Frisbee golf, he has to ask her out on a date—even if he's a senior, and she's a freshman! You'll find a variety of views on dating at Taylor; some students date only for fun, while others take dating very seriously. Some wings ask their freshmen to remain single for the first semester of school (of course, they don't always follow that "rule"). A lot of Taylor couples end up getting married, so watch out: You might find your mate at Taylor!

Dress Code

Taylor doesn't have a lot of specific dress code regulations. The essential mandates of the dress code are to demonstrate responsibility, consideration, sensitivity, and maturity through dress. Modesty and taste are encouraged, but the guidelines are vague enough to allow for individual style and personal responsibility in clothing choice.
