First-Year Communities 2025-2026
First-Year Communities offer first-year students the opportunity to meet and live with other first-year students who have different interests and majors. These communities, which have a Faculty-in-Residence, endeavor to facilitate personal development and growth. First-Year Community Housing Contracts are for one academic year. Students may not reapply to a First-Year Community, but may apply to a Living-Learning Community, Residential College, or Baylor's Upper-Division Community for their sophomore through senior years at Baylor.
