Texas Christian University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Texas Christian University accurate?

Hannah

For some girls, yes, but for most girls, this is not at all the case.

Dylan

for the most part

Jody

Partially, there is a lot of money but not nearly as much as people think but it is a very white school but they are trying hard to bring in more diversity

Ryan

This is very true, although I have seen things really changed over my 4 years. Other public events have been created by the Programming Council, which have fun concerts, food, etc and they have beome a lot more popular. It's just harder to seek things out to do if you are not Greek.

Alex

For the most part.

I think that TCU definitely is a party school. That is the experience that I was faced with in my first two years. I don't know if it was just because I'm in the Greek or if all of TCU is like that, but it seems like all of TCU likes to party.

Not everyone at TCU is "rich"; however, TCU has a large population of students who's parents have a lot of money and are able to sent their children here without the help of a scholarship. It is true that a large population of TCU students are part of the Greek system. If you do not have a nitch ie Greek life or athletics, it is easy to hate TCU. Everyone pretty much dresses the same at TCU. The girls all carry Jon Hart and Vera Bradley.

for the most part, yeah

To a point, yes. There are a lot of students that have too much money and they don't know what to do with it. It seems like it is really important to look all made up for 8 am classes and, being a laid back Californian, I think that is ridiculous. Of course, there are the nice ones that are in the greek system. Not many though.
