Fort Worth, TX
Texas Christian University

There's every type of student at this university: partiers, Greek life kids, band nerds, athletes, religious students, and more. The most amazing part is that within a single group, a sorority for example, you'll get a strong mix of every type of student. TCU embraces this diversity on all levels which is fantastic for helping students to expand their extracurriculars but they struggle to embrace diversity of race. They're working to help increase diversity in all majors and departments and students are actively talking about it on campus, taking initiative to fix the problems they see.

I love TCU, honestly. It has been important to my family for three generations now, and it will continue to be important to me moving on. The academics are great, I feel incredibly prepared for Grad School (as a current Grad School Student), there are multiple opportunities for networking and help finding jobs after college. Overall, TCU is an outstanding school and I would recommend it to anyone who can afford to go!

TCU is a very lively and exciting school for the average student.Also, there is always campus activities and functions to attend.Then again, TCU is very important into helping students grow into their career.Finally, TCU provides a college experiance no one would want to miss out of a four year university.

I LIKE FOOTBALL AND I LIKE COLRS AND MY BOTHER WHAT THERE

I applied to Texas Christian University ten minutes before the application closed with no intention of actually enrolling. I had never stepped foot on the campus. Once I arrived, however, and experienced the community, my mindset shifted and I knew I needed to be here.

TCU is an amazing school! As far as the rating sections go, the students are typically smart, wealthy, and dedicated. Everyone strives to do well in school, but the atmosphere is much more collaborative than competitive. Whether a student likes sports, politics, or arts, there is always something to do on campus or in the FTW/Dallas area. There are some lecture classes for core curriculum with 100 students, but the majority of major-specific classes are between 20 and 30 students. Teachers are mostly very caring and genuinely want their students to do well. The campus and buildings are beautiful and taken care of very well, though my one complaint is the food could be improved. There are many academic and social opportunities to get involved in. If you enjoy partying, there is usually something happening every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. Tailgates are always usually fun. However, there are also many events offered by TCU for those who are not interested in that. Overall, you cannot find a better, more accommodating and genuine school than TCU.

Since my freshmen year, I have been in love with Texas Christian University just by seeing it online. I was nervous that once I visited the campus, I would no longer want to go there anymore. But it was actually the complete opposite. I fell in love with the campus and the community around it. This is why I am applying to all these scholarships because I want to go to Texas Christian University so bad.

Overall, I have extremely joined my time here at TCU. It's a wonderful school to expand your horizons, and the professors here are highly educated and helpful. Though this campus has a heavy Greek-Life identity, I do not participate in Greek-Life and am completely happy with my choice. There are hundreds of different ways to be involved on-campus, so there is always something to do. They are very generous with financial aid as well, which is why I came here. I am also in the Honors College, and I enjoy the heavy notion that the Honors College pushes to explore different subjects, tackle issues on campus, and discover new cultures. If you're looking for a campus that places its #1 priority on students, then this is the place for you.

Texas Christian University is everything that I expected and more. When picking the university that I wanted to attend, a couple things were very important to me. First, I wanted to be in an environment in which I didn't feel like a little fish in a big sea. This is truly the case at TCU. No matter where I go on campus, I always am able to put a face to at least one name, whether it is a student, professor, or campus worker. Second, I wanted a school that was academically rigorous. TCU provides the perfect balance between a focus on grades and a focus on academics. While it isn't ever easy to receive an A in a class, with the necessary work and time commitment, it is possible and doable. The last thing that I was really looking for was a school with a "college experience". For me, this didn't include binge drinking and massive parties. This included a communal feel in which there were opportunities to network and meet students from all different backgrounds. At TCU, this is something that I have been able to do, as there are a great deal of events that help in the process of meeting other students. Overall, TCU truly does an amazing job of both fostering education as well as providing an environment in which academics isn't necessarily the overall focus. TCU's mission statement is to educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community. This is exactly what TCU has done for me and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I thoroughly enjoyed my four years at TCU and the community on and off campus. It was an amazing experience and I was very pleased with the small class sizes and assistance provided by professors. There are several extracurricular activities to partake in and there area always events on campus. Never a dull moment!
