Texas Christian University

Living in Texas, TCU has always been like the Disney world of colleges. Their school spirit has always stood out from the rest of the colleges. Even as an outsider it’s easy to tell how much of a vibrant and supportive community TCU is. When it comes to my career, TCU´s emphasis on inclusion aligns perfectly with my vision of becoming a dermatologist who makes dermatological care accessible to all. If I am blessed with the opportunity to pursue my STEM education at TCU, I am certain that I will gain important medical knowledge necessary to diagnose and treat underserved communities. I am excited to engage with community outreach programs and work with like minded individuals to ensure that skin health is a right and not a privilege. By studying STEM at TCU, I am positive I will gain the tools and knowledge to become a dermatologist who makes a real difference in people's lives. Through hard work and dedication, I hope to leave a lasting impact. TCU feels like a place where I will be supported, challenged and inspired every step of the way. I’m truly excited about the possibility of calling it my home for the next four years.

It is great and I love it

As a visitor of TCU, I loved the atmosphere of the campus. The campus is very small in area but huge in safety and compatability. There are several parts of the campus in which I particularly enjoyed. The studenst were very friendly and outspoken, the wings of classes and buildings are sorted out well and very close in proximity. There are several places in which you can call for protection if there happens to be a threat. There are many extracurricular activities to join and take part in. The campus looks to be constantly growing. I would love to attend the school in the fall of 2025 and would happily be called a Horned Frog.

When visiting Texas Christian University one cant help but be struck by the unique atmosphere provided by the campus. The blend of tis rich historical factors, architectural beauty and a buzzing student life creates an experience that is both welcoming and refreshing. When strolling through the campus, one is often greeted by the sounds of laughter and closeness, highlighting the strong sense of community that is manifested in the campus. The enthusiasm and excitement present during sporting events and various cultural activities showcases TCU's strong school spirit. As well as the commitment of faculty to provide personalized attention fosters a supportive and welcoming learning environment. The combination of all these factors, captures the overall warmth of the campus from just a visit making it a memorable experience for whoever comes by.

It's a very well rounded university.

Texas Christian University prides itself on being a smaller school with a big school feel. The university's athletic endeavors certainly help it to achieve this claim, along with the small classes and tight-knit community on campus. In addition to the school's welcoming atmosphere, TCU is situated in Fort Worth, Texas, a city that offers all the excitement and opportunity of a big city while also emulating a safe, homey feel.

Texas Christian University is a big deal in my city, from the neighborhoods to the stores near the school. It is everyone's dream to study there. The Football games are always fun because of the amazing players, the mascot, and the marching band. The classes are no exception, of course, because the school offers a variety of classes that teach students different things outside of their majors. The campus is also small, which makes it great for socializing and participating in events. However, the first-year dorms are small and require students to live with another partner if they plan on living in the dorms.

TCU's focus is on students on campus. This is not an adult learner-friendly campus. All the places you need to go for parking passes, books, and school ID are only open for limited hours during the day. The campus book pick-up claims later hours. However, they have been closed at all my attempts. This is the same for the place to get IDs. Speaking of IDs, everyone tells you to go to the Blue to get one. It took me an entire semester to how someone (including professors) informed us the "blue" is the Brown- Lipton Building. Let us move to the lack of parking spaces for commuters. If you are a commuter, good luck with finding a spot you are allowed to park. I missed my first class due to trying to find the allowed parking spots on the map provided by the police station. My Sunday pre-drive trip still found me lost. The map is not up to date with building names or parking locations. For example, your class can say the Bailey Building which is really called the Palko Buiding according to the sign on the building. There is a lot of traffic and easy to get into an accident. Be ready for the FA package to change without advanced notice. The office is nice but is not helpful with payments unless you are wealthy. TCU is attempting to create equity but is still hand-picking according to dollars in the wallet. Thus, FA assumes everyone has money to spend on their tuition. Good news, if you are an alumnus or a legacy of TCU the tuition discount is 75% off, then a grant from the school and you are in for a free TCU education. Next, if you are an employee or an immediate family member (spouse or child) of an employee, tuition is 100% paid by the university (they will charge you the tuition tax). Academics, TCU is a research institution that pushes its students to create publishable work. If you do not want to perform heavy writing and be pushed to have papers published for TCU, this is not the university for you. The professors will expect you to give them all of your time. There will not be any free time for family or personal life. The average doctorate degree is $150,000 in reality after we (students in my class) did our calculations.

An excellent school in a rapidly growing city with a hometown feel. When I toured TCU as a prospective student, I knew I wanted to attend school here. Not only was I attracted to the highly reviewed academics but also the Ft. Worth area... oh and the campus isn't bad either!

If you want be at a school and your an introvert, with an overpopulated takes anyone who applies. Want to be in Greek life because that’s literally the life here, with the most southern racist kind of people I know including the professors, go here. If your looking for southern nice go elsewhere too many Californians.

*This review is from a prospective student/visitor* Though I may not attend TCU, I have been a fan of the school since my sophomore year of high school. I am about to be a sophomore in college this fall! I really want to transfer here after my sophomore year. I have liked TCU for so long and I even used to watch the 2019 campus tour on YouTube often, trying to picture myself at TCU. Who wouldn't want to attend the school with such a beautiful campus and amenities offered? The school spirit caught my eye the most! There is one thing that I've noticed based on other reviews and my own observations. The TCU student body is predominantly Caucasian, and I'm very much aware of the lack of diversity. The Dean of Admissions, Heath Einstein, has A LOT to do with this. He and his crew back at Admissions are the people deciding who will get into the school and who won't, and the racial demographics of the student body haven't fluctuated much in decades. I also feel like there\'s this image that most of the girls are just a bunch of bleach-blonde, blue-eyed mean girls. Even someone that I met at a restaurant told me that, so she decided to go to Baylor...These are simply perceptions I have of the school. I\'m not trying to discourage anyone, because I don\'t even go here! I just want to know that I\'ll feel at ease at school if I attend TCU. I\'m a very laid-back, optimistic, open-minded, outgoing, and happy person. No one should have to try to fit in, I mean, it\'s college, not high school!!! Again, these are just stereotypes that I\'ve heard of and I want to make sure that they\'re false. I feel like I’d thrive at a school like UNT, but I really like TCU as well. I want to know that I won\'t feel like an outcast. I like both schools, to be honest. Anyway, in regards to my visit on campus, I had anticipated visiting TCU for years, and I finally had the chance to attend the “Monday at TCU” with my dad in February of 2020! When we arrived on campus, I felt kinda at home. It\'s just such a beautiful campus and it\'s something I\'ve never seen before. Two nice girls helped my dad and me find the entrance for the assembly, and immediately there was a large diverse group of people there to tour the school just like my dad and I were! Of course, I noticed many TCU Representatives, some Caucasian and many others people of color. When my dad and I were checking in with an admissions counselor, she noticed our last name was Spanish so she immediately started speaking in Spanish to me and I felt really bad because I do not speak Spanish fluently though I am of Mexican descent. At that moment, I saw Heath Einstein watching our conversation unfold and I felt like he was judging us unless he was just impressed with the admissions counselor. That\'s when I first felt like he was weird. The tours throughout the day were nice and the tour guide that my dad and I had was super cool and she even had the same major that I was interested in at the time. Another weird moment that I felt like I had was when this white mom looked like she was judging me as I was putting on my sunglasses. I know, I\'m probably just paranoid, but she looked like a b**** a** Karen. The last upsetting moment of the tour that I\'ll mention was that I accidentally took my dad and me into the Nursing School assembly for when it was time to explore our perspective majors, and when I said that I was actually supposed to go to the Speech-Path tour, every kid and parent just stared at me as we walked out and I was like, “Is that necessary??” (These were NOT TCU students, they were just kids touring w/ their parents, but they looked mean lol). The AFROTC Recruiter was nice and walked my dad and me all the way to the Miller Speech and Hearing Clinic. I\'ll be honest, it was kind of a long walk to me, but I had never walked a college campus that big, I don\'t think. It really is a small school with a big school feel which I really like. We caught the tail end of the Speech-Language Pathology assembly. The director of the clinic and professor, Lynn K. Flahive, Didn\'t look too enthused that I kind of interrupted the last of her assembly, but afterward, she did show my dad and me around briefly, pointing out all the amenities offered in the clinic. She looked kinda mean, ngl 💀 It\'s no lie the TCU really does offer top-of-the-line amenities, no matter what major you\'re in. My dad was VERY impressed. It\'s definitely coming out of the tuition! The very last thing that we did for the tour was congregate in the basketball arena and took a survey of how we liked the tour. I forgot what I rated it, but I don\'t think it was bad because it genuinely was awesome aside from the little things that I thought were annoying. They gave us Insomnia Cookies and they were really good lol. Lastly, I spoke to this really nice sophomore and she was really cool and told me more about how she likes it at TCU, being in a sorority, and coming from an all-girls school like me! That pretty much ended the tour, and I really enjoyed seeing the school in person because I had anticipated that moment for a long time. There are a lot of clubs that I\'d want to join because I love being active in organizations and I would also really love to join a sorority because I had wanted to for a while. Overall, it was a great tour aside from the little things, but TCU really does look like a well-rounded school. I just wish their image would change for the better because, regarding the racial demographic of the students, a college needs diversity. TCU has no excuse. It\'s all Heath Einstein and his crew! They\'re striving for a certain image that I think is so stupid. I\'m glad that TCU passed the RRI and has taken accountability publicly for the racial issues that they\'ve had in the past of their school. I hope that if I still attend TCU in the future, I will be surrounded by more people that are open-minded and aren\'t the stereotypical, conservative, rich white kid. I\'ve been interested in schools like UNT and the University of Miami for these reasons. The schools are progressive and have loads of diversity. If TCU wants a better reputation and a lot more student enrollment, they need to work on their image and provide more diversity. I am a very light-complected Latina. Not that it\'s anyone\'s business, but I’ve passed for white many times. I\'m only mentioning this because I don\'t think I\'d be discriminated against, but being on campus around a bunch of white kids might give me culture shock since I come from a predominantly Hispanic city in Texas. I don\'t want to feel like I don\'t belong, you know? If even I\'m feeling that way, that\'s not a good thing. That means TCU really needs to either find a new Dean of Admissions or Admissions crew OR grow the amount of student enrollment so more kids from different backgrounds can also attend TCU. I want to meet people from all walks of life. I know color shouldn\'t have anything to do with it, but I\'m just being realistic. Diverse college campuses are better college campuses and I wish the TCU Admissions Office would read this whole thing, pondering what they’re doing wrong.

This school will help me become the best that i can be as a person in general so, later on in life i can teach others about what i learned but, most importantly i can change the world. TCU is a really great school to me. It is an exciting place to go. It is a cozy college with a prestigious feel. But hopefully the professors are awesome!

The campus and people are beautiful. Despite being 1,000 miles from home, I find myself calling TCU home very often. We could use a few more food options, but on and off campus dining is good. I have a degree I’m passionate about and people behind me to help. The only issue is how expensive our university is overall.

I do enjoy TCU very much, although considering the pandemic going around life isn't the same anywhere. TCU has done a great job making everyone feel together in these tough times, I spend a lot of time in my dorm most days. There are many events throughout the day and night to keep students involved. I am a freshman this year and I'm not so sure how college really looks since the start of the year went very weird but I know I'm attending an amazing school. I will say though there isn't much diversity and at times I do feel alone being part of the minorities and the color of my skin. Overall, there are many kind people to talk to and lots to do around campus. I do wish that the college promoted more faith in God since it is a Christian University, I have been attending the college church and there aren't many members. When speaking to the pastor he said it's because the school doesn't promote the church and doesn't like the church being involved in activities. They told me how they weren't even allowed to pass out water bottles close to the school on move in day. I do find something the school does to be unsettling and even some people but my experience is still a great one. I do hope for these few issues I have come across to be fixed or noticed and changed. We need to build a strong community where no one is left out!
