As a student in university, everyone was Dr. so and so. Professor was never used.
As a high school teacher, I call all teachers by their first name when one on one. However, I do address them as Mr or Ms so and so in front of other students (if they are in class especially), but I have been known to go heyyy (insert first name) when not many are around (like passing each other in the hallway) or if it just slips out and it's not that big of a deal. Sometimes, I think the students like to see us address each other as peers w/o the formalities. It makes them see we have a world and identities of our own, too.
