What is the stereotype of students at your school?

R

...and it's true. The stereotypical TCU student is a wealthy white girl with a newer or brand-new mid-range or luxury car that she can't drive or park well. She will have a credit card that Daddy pays for, and she won't have any concept of limited spending. She will also carry an iPhone in some kind of silicone case. She will probably be wearing an oversize sorority/fraternity shirt and athletic shorts, and will probably carry a Jon Hart or North Face bag. She probably drinks like a fish, and may or may not have an actual working brain.

I would say most people look at the sky-high tuition rate at TCU and judge that it's a private university for spoiled rich kids. That's what I mostly heard from peopel when I told them I'm going to TCU.

Robin

Common stereotypes are that we are all spoiled and wealthy. Also, a common stereotype which is accurate is that TCU girls are very pretty and outnumber the guys.

Anne

You either love TCU or you don't. Everyone is Greek, and all greeks are snobs. People don't work hard to earn their education, they just coast through life. "TCU: where the girls are girls and the guys are too"

Whitney

I heard that TCU was a party school and all about the Greek life. Stereotypes are extremely prevalent within the Greek circle. Certain sororities and fraternities are known for different things.

Cody

Everyone is rich and goes Greek. The girls are blonde, rich, and bitchy. The guys are cocky, insensitive, and "fratty". If you aren't in the Greek system you will not have many friends, or have the opportunity to go to parties. TCU is not a diverse campus. Girls wear Nike running shorts, oversized t-shirts, boat shoes aka the shaker look. The guys wear Polo everything and pastel colored shorts, with croakies and loafers. Guys and girls t-shirts include "frockettes". Designer everything is everywhere. Jon Hart and Vera Bradley are a must have when you are a girl at TCU.
