Red brick, broad water, and Central Texas limestone
WacoTexas
Baylor's red-brick campus meets the Brazos beside downtown Waco. Beyond the river are Cameron Park's cedar bluffs, a protected mammoth dig, barbecue smoke, museums, and the Silos.
The signature trip
Baylor gives Waco its riverfront landmark
Pat Neff Hall rises above red-brick walks and live-oak lawns, while McLane Stadium sits across the Brazos. A campus visit can move from Burleson Quadrangle to the river without losing sight of downtown.
Prospective families need time for academic buildings and student questions. Football travelers get the river, stadium, and green and gold crowd in one scene. Graduation, move-in, Family Weekend, and Homecoming fill the same streets in distinctly different ways.

Magnolia, then more
Webster Avenue is only the first stop
After the Silos' shops, bakery, lawns, and Old Church, downtown is close: Austin Avenue storefronts, the Dr Pepper Museum, the Suspension Bridge, and the Brazos Riverwalk. Cameron Park's cedar slopes and the mammoth dig shelter reveal a different Waco beyond the commercial district.
