Ok. My husband is faculty at Baylor and I work here part time. Waco is my hometown, but I have lived all over the US and worked at other universities Yes, it is a very Christian University and it feels different from other places. Almost every event on campus begins with a prayer. Students are required to take religion classes and attend Chapel. Every employee signs a paper that lists your religious affiliation and how you are active in your church (at least you had to do this 10 years ago, don't know if they still do) The campus itself is quite nice. The weather sucks. Winters are usually mild with an odd ice storm every once in a while that shuts down everything. The summers are brutal. Hot and humid for longs months at a time. Faculty and staff get reduced price breakfast and lunch on campus ($3.25 for lunch) free parking, free use of gym, pools, etc. Free tickets to sports events (except football) free tickets to most music and concerts. Also, spouses and children can take free classes one at a time as well as the tuition remission and exchange program. ButI think that doesn't kick in until a year or more of service. As for the town: It has gotten very much more expensive here since Magnolia nonsense started. I live in a suburb about 10 miles from campus. It is not walkable. There are few sidewalks, everything is too spread out. Traffic is getting worse as they build more McMansions further out. If you live closer to downtown, I guess you could walk to more places, but it is getting too expensive and in summer, it is miserable to walk very far. Our school is very good, but getting too crowded. If you have any specific questions, I will happily answer them!
