Local News for Baylor University

Baylor spends $192,000 relocating students

Campus Living and Learning sent a housing offer via e-mail Aug. 4 and 6 to upper-division students living on campus with the incentive of $2000 if they cancel their residential hall contract and relocate off-campus. The offer was the result of an increase in freshman enrollment and growing interest in on-campus housing for upperclassmen.

New indoor practice facility boosts Baylor football

With temperatures eclipsing 100 degrees, indoor practice facility provides refuge from Texas heat

Staying the course as optimistic Baylor football fan

My UT friends were ecstatic, and they had every reason to be. After going to high school together we were now all freshmen in college, and there are few better ways to start off a collegiate career than with a national championship. Life was good for the Texas Longhorns. However, life for the Baylor Bears was a much different story.
